project 80 chevy shorty on hold

[60ratrod]

well i think that i am going to hold off on doing the front clip, or anything else for that matter, for a little while. i recently tried to go title the truck and found out that i couldn't transfer the truck into my name cause the guy that the kid i traded with only signed the odometer block on the title and not the registered/legal owner lines. i'm in the process of trying to get a hold of the guy so i can get this all legalized. i don't wanna do anymore work to this thing if i'm gonna have to scrap it. anyone else run into a situation like this? if i do end up having to scrap the thing then i'm gonna yank the motor and tranny, plus anything else that i might be able to use. thankfully there is a junk yard not too far from where i live. but i really don't wanna scrap it cause i've been wanting a short bed truck for so friggen long. would there be any other ways that i would be able to get a title in my name if i can't get a hold of the PO that's on the title??
