Phil,
You are probably correct about the frame. The problem is that every person we talk to in the DMV seems to have a different answer. One person buildt his own frame and he is not a manfacturer so he can't issue a MSO for his own frame. He has all the receipts for the metal and his welding, but it is a clean frame, ie, no numbers or anything. He may be stuck with waiting 15 years to get a SB-100 number then. I think the engine year comes into play for the BAR and smog stuff, but if you have the other you can register the car by the year of the engine, for smog purposes. This is such a messed up state that even the DMVs aren't sure of a lot of this stuff I think. That is why I asked Jdog if he would send me all the steps he has to go through when he registers his.
