Straight from the horse's mouth:
Doesn't sound very difficult. I've heard tales of 15 minutes, but I've never been able to do anything at the DMV in less than an hour.

I realize every state is different. How will this be setup for FL based registration? I am assuming it will be at the home office.
Here's a good resource: http://www.bipac.net/page.asp?content=tag_title_toolbox&g=SEMAGA
Factory Five issues Manufacturer Certificates of Origin, which make titling a self-assembled vehicle pretty straightforward in most states. A good place to call is your local DMV. If they can't talk your through the process, ask them who can. You're certainly not the first person to title a kit car in your county.
Yo Darren, time for an update?

Haha, that isn't a picture of me though!
And the 818 will register like any other kit car out there. Refer to your local DMV for specifics.
I have returned to the office gents, updates will resume shortly, hopefully this afternoon if I get caught up!
It's been so long since an update I guess the car is finished and back in Florida by now. When will it see it's first Auto-X?
Found a good donor on Copart. It's an '06 with only 69K miles on it.
Anybody near Boise, ID?
^ Good find!
Car is not home yet guys, we have another build trip planned in 2 weeks, then it should be here.
And, I have an update for you:
Fuel cap installation:
Doing some exhaust work:
Getting the body just right is a task, but we'll get it done:
You know what to do!
And the fuel cap assembly ended up being glued together–we fixed it with a few welds, but only after the photo was taken. That's why it seems to be too far recessed.
And part 17 in the video series: http://youtu.be/r1ETGR_KRBc
Shortened exhaust pipe:
We'll need seatbelts:
And the body is looking good!
Though it had to come back off to fix a clutch fork issue...
A bit of front end work with supervision included!:
Caption this photo!
I wonder how it would look with exhaust tips coming out of the rear mesh panel.

Something we have discussed as well, but there are a lot of tight clearances in that area. Note in my previous post how close the shift linkage sits to the mesh. Not saying it isn't possible, but dumping under the car is the best option for now.
I've heard of a glass jaw, but a glass scalp?
Looking good, guys! Can't wait to see it running!
I still think that the shift linkage is too vulnerable. I think it needs a little protection.
How about some doors for this thing?
It moves!
Hitting the dyno...
Caption this photo! "I was checking the specs on the inline for the rotary gurder!"
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
We have a runner! 
What is that heavy looking thing in the door?

Nice personalized touch in the AIM dash tagline.
I agree that exhaust exit has to be changed. That just looks "kit car".

Correct!
Love how the dash display says "GRM 818".
