Here's his previous posts on the subject, just FYI:

It was actually my local county clerk who refused first. Then they consulted with the state themselves and confirmed they wouldn't register it. It hasn't been purchased yet, pending some reasonable assurance I can actually register and drive it. That being said, it's entirely possible I got...

Can you share who they're ordering these through?

Split off from here to prevent a hijack... So I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a new Ford Cab Chassis or Cutaway on which I'd like to mount a DIY camper box. As you probably know, these vehicles are shipped from Ford as "Incomplete" vehicles, with the intention of being sent to a...

A cab-chassis is an incomplete vehicle too. I'm not concerned with driving the vehicle before it gets the box. The problem is, even after the box is added and the build is finished, I don't have paperwork from a final-stage manufacturer proving the vehicle is "completed" so that I can register...

I'd love to go this route, but at least in my state (Tennessee) one can't register and operate an Incomplete vehicle such as a cutaway until it's been "completed" by a final-stage manufacturer.

Sorry if I'm being too nosy, but does NC give you any crap about registering and driving an "incomplete" vehicle? TN is telling me they won't do it. Obviously this isn't a big deal if a cutaway was previously a box truck or whatever.

What was the damage that resulted in a salvage title?

Looks like Hill Start Assist, Traction Control and Electronic Stability Control are all standard for 2021. Do those cause any problems with the 4x4 conversion?

Have you guys done any Ford Cutaways with the new 7.3 gas engine yet?

Very good. One more followup question please, are the pieces outlined in red available from you, or are they fabricated by the customer?

That all sounds reasonable, thanks. When using your FRP extrusions, how do you deal with angles? I saw this brief image from one of your videos; do you have any details on this process? It's not readily apparent to me how to smoothly integrate this into the extrusions.

I've seen at least one camper posted that appeared to be built with a welded aluminum angle frame to join your panels rather than your extrusions. What's your opinion on this method? Pros/cons?

I saw it on Facebook.

New Transit bumper from Quigley:

AWD is showing up in the online build tool now, fyi.

The on-line configuration tool isn't showing it correctly, but they're sitting on dealer's lots already. EDIT: I mean the AWDs are out there, not the diesels.

+1 for Live Work Wander. They're an entertaining couple. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwtDifOCpSBDe5yJZdIMtXw/

Where'd you get the line drawing of the Transit? Looks handy for planning.
