58 truck inspection woes

[RhatterNTatter]

Tried to register my 58 Chevy Truck here in NC and gave State a good Missouri title to start with. Was told I needed an antique vehicle inspection. Got the inspection and was told I have to post an indemnity bond because I don't have a title for the S10 frame sitting under the truck. Was told I would have to have a new VIN plate because the inspector thought the one there should have rivets....have pics of other VIn plates and they look the same as mine for the mountings. Was told I would need to fill out a bunch of forms and that my truck would be designated a replica....WTH??? Was told that I should have paperwork for the 350 engine sitting in this truck also.

What a mess....seems like this should be a legal challenge since this would/could/should be applied to all and not just to some of these?

Oh, I will have to get some appraisals on value for the bond that I have to post....

Are there any lawyers out there?

BTW....the State won't give me a title until all of the forms are filled out, the appraisals are done, the bond is posted, they do research on frame number for stolen status, on the engine number etc.
