inspection? Correction
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.
