AZ it pretty easy. The biggest thing you need is a Manufactures Statement of Origin (MSO). Thunder Ranch will need to provide that. Tell them that you need it at the time of final payment/pick up. They can drag their feet on it, I think it takes a lot of footwork with CA. Anyway, when you get your car built, you will take the car with the MSO, all your receipts and hopefully a photo album of the build to an inspection station. In Maricopa County, that location is at Broadway and the I-10. I had to make an appointment 4 weeks out.
AZ will issue a "Special Construction Title", and they will affix a foil sticker with your VIN number somewhere on the car that is visable to a COP that could be looking for it from the outside. Be friendly to the inspector, so that sticker isn't in an ugly place.
