Finally got the Trenton paperwork done and scheduled to go to Asbury Park in a couple weeks. Spoke to the guy down there and he seems OK, he gave me a bunch of the things on his inspection checklist. So one item relates to ground clearance. He was saying that I need 2" of clearance imagining that the car is sitting on its rims without tires.
Anyone ever hear of anything like that? I have a slabside so the exhaust system is routed underneath the car - that may be a problem since the muffler is a bit lower than the frame.
Crazy regs... 
I am planning on going there anyway and assuming that he will give me a punchlist of stuff to do. Just hope nothing major...my patience is wearing thin

Find someone who will lend you a set of 17" wheels for the inspection, you'll do just fine. The week before, go over everything, paperwork, theirs and yours, and the car. Anything you notice, they will, if they notice too much, they will fail your car and you'll start all over again.

So Bill, who do you know who has a set of 17" or 18" spline drive wheels? His car is an SPF MK II with spline drive wires.
If you can't make the clearance needed look at adjusting the leaf springs to raise the ride height for the inspection. You can jack the car up and use a spring clamp to "lock" the leafs in a higher ride height.
Contact me if you need help on how to.

Spline drive and not pin drive, that is going to be a tough one. I have no connections in that case.
