Well, it seems that as of Jan 1st '08 there is a new law in effect in NC. Speaking to a friend in DMV tag office,,, now, you build a rod and need to register it,,,or buy any PRE '73 vehicle,,,,it must be first seen by a DMV state inspector (not to be confused with a NC state inspection),,before it can be titled and tagged... So,, it all seems that although there are people out there who are out to mess up our sport and this would normally be a good thing, I can only think this,,,,, Seen by a state employee of any sort,, unless that person "gets it" can be a major problem.. As it seems to be an open ended law,, scenerio ::: you build a rod with a body that you bought even with a title,,,now the rod has a different chassis, engine trans,,and even suspension..You changed the firewall, so you buy a new tag plate, stamp the numbers on it, and rivet it onto the ,,um,,,door post,,, take this really well engineered mess to the Highway dept. . The guy comes out,,who likes,,say Mopars,,,you built a model A rod,, and this guy just looks at it, and says, NO WAY,,,,Hmmm,,,,what to do now? Hotrodworld
