Thread: Texas Street Rod Law Finally Implemented

Hey Jack,
Good to see your name pop up again! Hope all is well over in Italy. You must be getting short on that assignment, aren't you?

One thing that I've noticed in the SEMA model is that they define the vehicles for occasional use, which can be cumbersome and open to interpretation. I don't see that in the Texas process, which is a good thing. The only hangup I note is the requirement for an ID number on every major component. Many body guys don't number their units, and N&N is one of them. It has a business card laminated into the tranny hump, but no unique number. In Texas that would require a court order or tax assessor/collector hearing. Still seems to be a big step forward!! Wish Kansas would follow suit.

Roger, Since the car already has a valid Virginia Title, denoted as "Replica," I don't have to go through all of the components piece by piece (again.) Oh, and Texas requires the inspection to be by an SME Master Technician. Standard corner Texaco inspection won't work. I've located one, but need to work out a way to get the car there.
