Well, the adventure continues...
I took the truck, title, proof of insurance to the county clerk today. Upon inspection she noticed that the title has 3 additional digits that are not part of the serial # and do not appear anywhere on the truck. Oy.
I looked back and what happened was, when I got info from Carnac on the VIN info thread I just copied and pasted that info to GL titling when I sent in my SF-97 request. It's not Carnac's fault--I should have double-checked the info myself before forwarding it on to them.
So anyway the county clerk sent me up to the Sherrif's office and they called Frankfort and it looked for a minute like they might make an exception, but no. She said I need to send this title back and get it corrected. Oh well. Many more weeks of waiting. And I'll miss the ARFCOM shoot at Knob Creek (well, I won't but the deuce will).
Good news is, it seems she likes being driven. Found out the fuel gauge is accurate when I topped her off, plus the tachometer which had been jumping around has now smoothed out entirely. So at least there's a silver lining...
Still...
