I’m sure there’s some other guys out there that are building a tribute car and if we can get enough information together It just might make it easier for their build

Please excuse my confusion but there is clearly something that I am missing here.

You know that Billboards are bias ply tires — right? You correctly state that Billboards will not pass inspection. This has nothing to do with their bias ply construction and everything to do with their lack of DOT certification / registration.

I am struggling with why you would not consider a DOT approved radial that would easily make it through inspection. Then, after inspection, change them out for the Billboards with their period correct look to satisfy your appearance criteria?
