BAR is the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. They're in charge of Smog among other things. Under California legislation (Senate Bill 100) BAR provides 500 Smog waivers (called certificates of sequence) per year to home built vehicles. It allows the owner of the the vehicle to choose between the year of the engine or the year the body style most represents when determining what year to title the vehicle. If the smog referee cannot match a year to the body, the default year is 1960. Without the waiver I'd have to meet current smog requirements.

I don't think I'm finished with fees yet...especially since I'll be applying for personalized plates.
