Thanks guys. I knew the CHP would want to see the car and every shred of paperwork that I have, but I would like to call BAR right now, if I can without the VIN assignment, and schedule the BAR appointment for after the CHP appointment. I think some CC members in the past have said that the BAR appointment could be 1-2 months out. Is that correct?
Also, we'll the local police and/or CHP give me any difficulties for driving with just a TOP? I remember a photo of Doug (with the burgular-looking head warmer thingees

) on one of those local Cobra fun runs with the TOP prominently displayed on his windshield.
