CA reg plans - TOP now, waiting for 2007 SB100

[ffrcobra_65]

Hey guys.

I just came back from DMV. I went to register my Cobra...

The person I drew when my number got called did not know anything about registering a special construction vehicle. She spent a few minutes reading some online manual, looks at all my DMV forms which I neatly filled out and readily presented, and started making entries into her computer. She then wanted to know if I wanted it to go in as a 1965 model year (I know I know, I could have said Yes and probably ended up not doing a smog but I wanted to do this right and not have to worry about bad consequences), so I told her NO NO, it has to go in as a 2006 SPCN.
She then consulted with her supervisor, she tells her I was right. Her supervisor then tells me to make sure I am in line early on January 2nd to get SB100. I said FOR SURE.
The clerk did not want to see any of my receipts, I had invoices for kit, engine, tranny, misc parts, and even labor for paying someone to install my drivetrain. She just looked at the $$ amount that I declared on the Statement of Construction and based the fees on that. I was expecting way more but she only wanted a few hundreds. I know it should be more but I didn't want to confuse her more so I paid and left it at that for now. I do intend to inquire about this possible miscalculation when I return in January. I want to pay all fees, due, tax, etc. I don't want to give Sacramento any reason to suspect anything where there should be none.
Anyway, she gave me a TOP til the end of the year and stapled ALL my paperwork PLUS reg124 to take to CHP for VIN assignment.

I intend to complete the CHP thing, then go back to DMV on Jan 2, and apply for SB100, then do the BAR, etc.

Yeah baby! For now, I can legally drive my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
