Commish ...

I do believe this Bill clears up the salvage title issues they were having before. There wasnt any dialog for kits/replicas/homebuilts in GA Code prior to this at all (having the big book of knowledge issued to you yearly helps ). Now they have included a definition of "kit/replica" etc and how they are to handled. ie: they have to pass a state inspection for equipt standards (40-8-whatever) is for such things like lights, windshield, wipers, etc. to obtain title, blah blah blah.

What I'm not seeing if an exception for emissions. The (B) If applicable, federal emission standards issued pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A. Section 7401 through Section 7642, the 'Clean Air Act,' as amended. only hints to it, but that could be only associated to motorcycles .. they dont have to meet an emission standard.

I was hoping the State would make an emissions exception for replica/kit cars seeing how they are such a niche market, but it doesnt appear to be happening (yet). I guess you could always temporarily drop in a turbo diesel for your state inspection and smile.
