(1) A glider kit is a new vehicle without a power train (engine, transmission, drive train, and rear axles). A glider kit comes with a manufacturer's certificate of origin (MCO) and is designed to use a power train (engine, transmission, drive train, and rear axles) from an existing vehicle.

(a) The MCO for a new glider kit properly assigned to owner.

(b) An affidavit that includes the vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN), year, make, and model stating that the applicant is the recorded owner of the vehicle and that there is no lien on the vehicle from which the power train was removed.

(c) A copy of the certificate of title in the name of the owner for the vehicle from which the power train was removed, if the vehicle was required to be titled in accordance with § 32-8-31, Code of Ala. 1975, or copies of the owner's registration receipts for the last two years if the vehicle was not required to be titled in Alabama. In lieu of copies of the registration receipts, the owner may provide official registration records from the state in which the vehicle was registered.

(d) If the power train was obtained from a vehicle that was not owned by the applicant, a bill-of-sale covering the power train must be attached in lieu of the documents provided in this rule. The bill-of-sale must contain the VIN, year, make, and model of the vehicle from which the power train was removed. If the parts of the power train were purchased individually, a bill-of-sale covering each part must be furnished. The bill-of-sale must contain the VIN, if assigned by the manufacturer, of the component part.

(e) An affidavit by the person reconstructing the vehicle stating what was done to reconstruct the vehicle and that said vehicle is now in operable condition.

(3) The application for certificate of title must include the VIN, year, make, and model of the vehicle shown on the MCO issued for the glider kit.
