Jack,
§ 46.2-100. Definitions.
"Replica vehicle" means every vehicle of a type required to be registered under this title not fully constructed by a licensed manufacturer but either constructed or assembled from components. Such components may be from a single vehicle, multiple vehicles, a kit, parts, or fabricated components. The kit may be made up of "major components" as defined in § 46.2-1600, a full body, or a full chassis, or a combination of these parts. The vehicle shall resemble a vehicle of distinctive name, line-make, model, or type as produced by a licensed manufacturer or manufacturer no longer in business and is not a reconstructed or specially constructed vehicle as herein defined.
Here's the original thread from when I found out about the new law:

Don,

In my original contacts with VA DMV, they told me I needed receipts for the body, engine, frame and transmission. I am definitely NOT going to present them with ALL the receipts from day one.

This has got my knickers in a twist, because I will be ready to license by the end of June. I don't want to register as a "specially constructed vehicle" or some other bogus method because I know it will be impossible to change later on.

I'm going to call my representatives in the Virginia House and Senate, as well as the originators of the bill.
