Don't worry Grumpy....to run fenderless you need to run street rod tags. You have to go through a mile of red tape to get them. I'm not gonna run street rod tags!

Terrance, or Clarke, or anyone that knows, what do you have to do to get a SR tag?? Is it similar to reconstructed? Also Terrance, when is the openhouse in Jan?

Clark right about the Street Rod Tag. It's the same as a reconstructed. We did my father inlaws car last year it took him six months to get his tag. You have to take about 6 pictures of the car and list where all the parts came from to make the car and have fill out a bunch of forms. If any part of it is wrong they send it back to you but they stop at the first thing they find wrong. They don't review the whole thing at once and list what they need. His paper work went to Penn Dot aleast 15 times.
This law is good news but it's still going to be a pain in the ass.

Now how the hell are you gonna know where every part of your car comes from especially if you get parts from Carlisle,Hershey,or off of E-bay? Only in PA do they make their job and your life miserable. Well I better start keeping track of my stuff when I collect part for the 31. later plmczy
