When an amateur built plane gets its original airworthiness certificate, the builder (and only one builder if partners built it) is elgible to get a repairman's certificate for that plane. No one other than the original builder (That's the person who finished the plane.) can (legally) get a repairman's certificate for that plane. If it never had an airworthiniess certificate, cancel the registration and register it with you listed as the builder. Even if you can't get a repairman's certificate, you can do anything to the plane yourself except the annual "condition" inspection. It doesn't hurt to have an extra set of eyes look at it once a year anyway.
