sometimes when i buy a broken car, i never title it to my name til it's running, ohh no call the tag police on me. as long as the sig matches on the title to the name on it it goes through fine with no bill of sale. this only happens when a motor rebuild or swap is done because sometimes it may take me and my bro more than 30 days and i don't want the state to get a free $10. glad he resolved the issue. next time everyone will know the signature needs to match the name on the title.
