Earlier this week, I went to the Santa Clara DMV to start the SPCNS process and get a SB-100 number.

I was lucky enough to be able to talk with Jody, and has been mentioned here before on CC, she really understands the SPCNS / SB-100 process and is very helpful. Jody reviewed the paperwork, made a few adjustments and all the while explained the process to the clerk at the counter. Unfortunately, Jody was not able to get through to Sacramento, so I did not get a SB-100 number right on the spot. I wrote the check, left with all my paperwork plus a few more forms, and a list of tasks to compete: SMOG / CHP Inspection / Brake & Light Inspection. I am glad to say that I was issued a TOP (temporary operating permit)

I checked back with Jody today and she said that yes, there are still SB-100 numbers available, but she has been unable to talk directly with the person in Sacramento that issues them. Jody is working on it, I'll check back with her next week. So far ... so good.

Thanks ... the paperwork bit is an important part of the project. It's all for naught if you can't license and drive it.

A few months ago I picked up the forms and a checklist. I have the MSO, Receipts & Forms all prepared, plus back up copies of everything, just in case. I am ready to write the check and hopefully tomorrow I'll have my SB-100 number, will keep you guys posted.

Well ... I got it !!!

Heard from Jody today that my car was issued a SB-100 number

And ... it's number 289 ... now how cool is that !

I hope a Cobra guy got number 427.

So ... I'll need to complete the remaining items on the list after the car is running, then go back to the DMV to finish the rest of the registration. Can't say how much I appreciate extra effort and expertise that Jody at the Santa Clara DMV brings to the process. And for those that are looking to start SPCNS / SB-100 this year, there are 'several numbers' left, Jody was not given have an exact number by the office in Sacramento.

Congratulations Tim! What are the odds of getting that number...it was meant to be!

Tim! 289? That's a good luck sign if ever there was one...

So what's on the list for this weekend?
Cheers,
Glen
