RE: [Chevelle-List] State inspection? Correction
If you register
your car as a classic or antique you can only legally drive it one day per week
I also believe this includes cars registered as street rods too.

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.

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.

Re: [Chevelle-List] State inspection? Correction
according to the officials at DOT, in the near
future a standarized enforcement and clear regulations are on the
horizon. The last two years teams of state
officials ( State Police & DOT) were at York and Hersey taking pictures
of cars.
The big complaint by DOT officials . At the meeting
last year in Harisberg. Were #1 the abbuse of Antique Tags #2. the
clearafacation and abbuse of the new CV black tag.
and standard inforcement of the DOT regulations for
all
Street Rod, Collector Vehicle and Classic tag
holders
annual state reinspection.

Re: [Chevelle-List] State inspection? Correction
I heard that when you chemically dip your body,
sometimes the body is so rusted, that the "part" of the panel is complety rusted
through and the chemical stripping leaves a hole in it, as it is supposed to
remove rust. well, in this company, what happens when it is rusted that
badly? do they repair the panel and then ecoat
it?

In
PA they have a required minimum diameter of 15 inches for the steering wheel.
They state that in an emergency situation with a smaller diameter wheel you can
not control the car properly. I have seen some of the smaller steering wheels
come through my sop, and the people never installed a horn button on them which
the horn in required for inspection in my home state.The one state trooper told
me many years ago that the turning rate of the steering wheel changes too much
when they put the smaller custom steering wheels on making it too hard to
correct or avoid a dangerous conditions when the event would arise. The worst one I have ever seen, a guy with an older CJ Jeep brought it in
for inspection with a pair of vise grips locked on the steering shaft and the
horn wire hanging loose to show me the horn worked by touching the worked by
touching the wire against the shaft. I can no tell you how upset he was and the
words he chose to describe me, the inspection laws were. Go

Re: [Chevelle-List] State inspection? Correction
Hey all I went to Google and did a search for "VA state vehicle safety inspection" I got a long hit list but this one was right up top. There is nothing in there about steering wheels. And no emmission equipment is nessasry for 1973 and older cars. All they do is look to see if its even there. http://www.vsp.state.va.us/safety.htm I would imagine that if you put your state in there it should spit out something to give you an idea of what they are going to look at and what not look at.

2 of our towns state inspectors got fined $1200 plus the business was also fined $1200 for passing a car with a aftermarket steering wheel. This has everyone scared. I live in a very small town 5k people. 40 miles out of Austin. Going even more rural to get my sticker. Thanks Skip 686 SCBB -Original Message-From: Kelly C.

The supercharger I can understand. The steering wheel I say is BS. Larry (z)

Kelly, I have a supercharger and this makes it difficult and you have to have original steering wheel also. The inspector showed me it to me in the book.

RE: [Chevelle-List] State inspection?
I'm not sure what the cutoff is, but here in NY my 1968 & 1969 cars do not have to pass emissions. Only a safety inspection is required.
