Your state of residence would help a lot. Bottom line is that there
are companies that exist for the sole purpose of producing the sort of
paperwork that you seek. You sense of satisfaction in "beating the
system" will be measure in your willingness to trade many $$$$ for a
non-existent, but necessary, piece of paper......


I went through this when I tried to register a '46 Ford modified streetrod
in MA. Here, any car purchased out of state (never had a MA title) that
does not have a 17 character VIN number (old cars only have 11 characters)
must be inspected by a local police officer to verify that the VIN is as it
appears on the out of state title. My problem with the old Ford was that
there was no VIN number anywhere on the car that we could find. At the
advice of a friend, I ordered a small, metal plate for 25 bucks that was
stamped with the VIN number and had a self adhesive backing. It actually was
pretty nice ... all gold plated. I stuck it on the inner door frame and
arranged for a police officer to inspect it. He didn't give it a second
look, other that verifying that the numbers were correct, signed the
paperwork and I had no problem getting the car registered and getting a
title.
