Hey Gang,
with all the problems that people have been having with their sb100 registration I thought I would just mention that mine is finally done.
The registration process was not without its ups and downs (DMV office not being able to reach Sacramento
...., local brake and light inspection facility jerking me around about a brake line until I had Shelby send me a new one and held it up next to the old one and asked the brake and light people to show me what the problem was...
) but my local DMV office has been very helpful and understanding
. The CHP officer made that part a breeze (and even said "of course you can use CSX 4788 as your VIN since it is stamped on the chassis)
. The smog inspection could not have gone more smoothly (and I am shocked at how much hydrocarbons a 66 427 side oiler puts out at idle if it is jetted rich and running at too low of an idle speed
. I even just ordered personalized plates for my baby. Unfortunately, I did not re-torque the heads and intake until I put over 100 miles on the motor, so I blew a head gasket
. Oh well, since my new house has a 1,600 sq foot shop / garage with a 9,000 # lift, it should not take long to fix it once I get the parts. Unfortunately it probably will have to go back to Las Vegas / SAI (again) since the differential is leaking
. So for all of those who are still struggling, don't give up, it is so worth it.
