Okay, since this thread seems to be about where I need help I thought I
would tag along for the ride:

here is my dilemma:

I have a '68 Bus which I want to use the engine and part for my '69 Westy.
I have a stack of papers for both (titles, bills of sales, etc) Problem -

I can not register the '68 because it will not pass smog the DMV tells me I
can junk it but then I would have to surrender the title.  But what happens
if A) I want to put it back together or B) when I want to get rid of the
'remains'?  Also, the DMV tells me that I can not transfer title or
register the '69 because it has no engine.  I just want to little slips of
paper that have my name on them.

Can any one help me with what I can or can not do?
