Pa in starting to
make some strict changes in the way you register your cars. Street Rods,
Classics, Antiques are all allowed by law to be driven one day per week and
that is it.. This has been for a while but I have been informed they are
starting to tighten all of this up. Registering a car with a blower out of
the hood is not a problem. Getting the car inspected is though. You allowed
a maximum of 4 inches and it can not interfere with the drivers vision. I
know I turned one guy away because of this, as much as I hated too. But
having a license in my back pocket I have to protect my job and shop. The
issue with all the new lights is more of the way people are sticking the
clear lens and colored bulbs in, mainly around here would be the kids
with their Honda's etc. The last word we got direct from the State at our
shop was things are changing and they will be enforced. And that was from
the guy doing the audit on our record book. At our shop we don't see many
street machines and the ones we do see are street legal.

If the others states are like PA , They have
alot of obscure DOT law regarding vechial state inspection.
example. in Pa for a none street rod or
colectoe Vechial plate. you can not change exhaust systems, chang
tire to mor the one size +/- orginial or change the dia of
the Steering wheel. the were having a feild day in the hight of the
off road 4X4 days with tires,bumper hight,headlamp location adjustment.
In Pa they have been on a fact finding
mission for the last two years to finalize, a unaform inforement policy. I
can't wait to see what these guy/gals come up with.
Last Feb 01 the dot had a meeting in
Harrisberg open to the community. They showed pictures of pro street cars
with antique tages, classic taged cars with blowers stuck out
of the hood and street rods, that had no winshild wipers of fenders !! Not
to mention a truck load of photos of safety violation from lights to a T
bucket with a suicide front ends ,no brakes and a moon fuel
tank.

What does a steering wheel have to do with
a state inspection anyway? This just sounds like another ploy by some
states to make the hobby go away. I was stationed in Texas(love the
state) back in the early '60's and I had a '49 Olds. If they had
required inspections back then they wouldn't have let me put air in the
tires, let alone put it on the road to drive.

I wanna know why they can dictate this when they sell them
legally in stores. I didn't have any trouble getting my SS passed in
Quitman, Texas with my Grant GT wheel.
