 first thing you will need to do is go get the weight and that that slip to sos then i think they will ask you for the cost of material something like that. but its been a long time since i have do this so best bet would be to just go to sos and ask them what all they need.

As long as it doesnt weigh more than 2,450 lbs you will be fine, over that and its a pain. Been almost 2 months trying to get mine done. Had to have police inspect it, fill out a bunch of forms. Had to buy a 2 month plate for $50 just so i can use it.
