I've been thru this with a lonestar cobra , You first have to fill out both forms from the dmv ,send them in with the $25 and wait until you hear back from them with an appointment date to get the car inspected /nysdmv center . You have to trailer the car ,and they will not give you a temp reg. sticker.When you go bring receipts for all major parts on your car - the engine ,trans ,rearend and the mso . They will put the car up on a rack and check for stolen parts and to make sure the car is safe . Focing on the brakes ,as to how the lines are attached . Steering assbly etc. They will let you know then if theirs a problem . Your engine will determine the emissions that are required for your engine , for my 70 block ,it had to have a pvc valve and a thermostatic air cleaner and yes they checked. So, you wait a couple of weeks and you will receive a letter stating your car can receive a VIN # and another appointment date to bring the car back (on trailer) to have them affix the VIN TAG , they put mine in the door jamb towards the top by dash. Now you get your paper work for the reg process , you register the car (pay n.y sales tax) bring receipts and then have 10 days to bring to local inspection station to be inspected by them , when they type in Custom 2008 , (The year the car was first registered will be what is printed on reg.)it will tell inspector what emissions standards are suppose to be on car.
When you go for the nydmv center for their inspecton , they will look to see that you have wipers that work ,a backup light , d.o.t on your lenses , tires ,windsheild and you will have to remove the sun visors as they are not d.o.t approved . Put a piece of pipe insulation across the top of the dash ,the kind that opens and put it for your padded dash , it passed . All and all it was kind of a hassle -trailing the car 2 times , But it sure is worth it. Hope this helps you guys , Any questions let me know . I will check back often
