I never did anything further with this last year, as I didn't want to have to get it off the lift, loaded and trailered to an inspection site in the winter.
I went to the main DMV for the state in St. Paul today with the pics of the TT, vin tag, all the previous paperwork with the rpo codes as the vin and a title correction form. The girl scanned the pics into the computer along with the correction form and 7 minutes later the vin came back as clean and it was changed in the state registration immediately. All I have to do now, is wait for the new title to arrive !!!!!!!
What a HUGE relief, it didn't get all convoluted and complicated...
