BE CAREFUL .. on how you talk at the window.  I said the magic 'Wrong Words':  DUNE BUGGY...   "Oooops! I didn't mean D-U-N-E  Buggy!" 

Too late .. they slammed the door on me. The car was built/titled/plated in VA .. moved to OH where the title reads; 'Homemade'.  A deal killer.  The easiest thing for the window person to say was; "I have to speak to my supervisor." .. the supervisor say; "I have to call Glen Burnie."  ..."GB said no." 

End of conversation.  Careful.

You might try a title service - that's my plan anyway.  They should be able to tell you what you'll need for registration, any special paperwork, etc. on getting title transferred and plates.
I think Street Rod plates are about the most applicable for "custom cars" like fiberglass buggies.

My Deserter was last titled in VA too, but as a Deserter convertible (I believe).  I plan to advertise it as a "kit car" that I rebuilt and made road worthy again.

Jeff,  I long overdue reply, but even tho' AAA is about as suited to the times as Harness Racing or Marbles, they have a direct feed into the DMV computer and I got them to get me a title.  I had to 'join' but at least I was able to bypass the counter people at the DMV.
