Form VTR-61 example filled out, example: an owner who rebuilt her own pickup
Jane Ann Sample rebuilds her own pickup and completes Form VTR-61. She finished the work on March 2, 2026, and replaced the engine and the right front fender. She is both owner and rebuilder, so she signs both statements. Frame and Body are left blank because she kept the original frame and body. Nothing goes in the other component parts except Fender(s) because she replaced nothing else. The picture shows the filled form, and all its values are invented.
