I've decided to part out my 84 Ramcharger and I'm going to end up with a frame and a title left over. I have a 29 Whippet sedan which is Willys Overland and sorta Mopar by default. Most street rods are little more than a title and an OE part here and there so I'm wondering, Can I get buy modding the RC frame and using the Whippit parts to make a rod? It would be titled as an 84 RC but so what? I don't care about that anyway. Can I get by with it? Is there some law in WV that I would be violating?

It would look UGLY

I know it sounds ugly but it would only be RC in a little bit of the frame and title. Everything else would come from the Whippet. I'm thinking woody too. It sounds like it would fall under a specialy constructed vehicle catigory. This may well be one of my worst ideas but I can't keep from thinking about it. Thanks for the link too, big help.

Lets put this into perspective, Presume your driving your freshly assembled ride down the street and some local policeman pulls you over for speeding. When he runs your plate and it turns up on his screen as an 84 Ramcharger but doesn't look like any Ramcharger he ever saw, what do you picturing happening next? At the least hes thinking he has a plate swap or maybe even a stolen ride with a stolen plate. You know its going to get ugly fast and ruin your and your wife's trip to the ice cream store.

If you have the title for the Whippet, license that, or whatever you need to do to get it legal. The time is coming (real soon I suspect) where the stuff that is not 100% legal will be removed from the roads forever.

In IL, I'm putting a 48 Plymouth on a Dakota frame, basically recabing the Dakota with the coupe body. I will end up doing the bonded title process. Gene

I have no title for the whip. This is good info and why I asked before spending any money.
