Jim, I used SAE numbers for the lenses from a variety of sources to fill in the form that was sent in to the Tech Unit in Albany. The only thing I really did was pick up a DOT approved back up light and put some padding (water pipe insulation) on the visors and dash. The field inspection in Buffalo is mainly concerned that the car, motor or tranny isn't stolen. I had a friend of a friend that knew the senior inspector and let him know I was coming so they didn't actually check out the car at all. The biggest issue I had was which person in Albany you start out working with. I got the guy that only had a one word vocabulary... no. There is a car guy in that same unit in Albany that really went to bat for me to get the historical registration and vintage plate application through the custom plate unit. I'm using a '64 NY Worlds Fair plate, it doesn't have a front plate. Took a while, but it's all good now.
