Hi guys
I have an attachment with info from the DMV on how to register a vehicle that is “homemade”.
Call Albany for the kit from the tech group (518) 474-5282 nice people
Keep all your receipts, pay the money and pray.
My car has been on the road just over 5 months – I lost the entire summer fighting with the DMV in Albany for my appointment to get my vin number – that said the tech group was very helpful and guided me through. If it’s a new build get the DMV info early so you know what additional parts you will need for NYS inspection.
The state is mostly looking for stolen parts – keep cool, keep records and do your homework. The state run inspection was a walk through – my yellow tag was put under the dash on a cross member. The regular state inspection looks at lights and safety equipment needed for the road, Albany asked for pictures, recites and id numbers for major and mandatory parts, approved lights, glass, etc. Albany wants its tax dollar$$$$ so keep an eye on what the car cost you and keep neat records – the less work you make them do the better off you are.
If you need a local gas station I have 2 in western Suffolk that know Cobras – eMail me. Best of luck,
