somebody on the forum sent me a PM and after connecting with him I found out that I am doing it all wrong. I applied for collector plates and I should have applied for Hobbyist plates. The laws in WI state that if I have a replica vehicle I can get a replica title that is dated as of the year of production that is being replicated. This should grant me the emissions exemption I am looking for. I called the state and argued this point and they said I still needed the waiver. here is the link to the website for WI DMV Hobbyist information.

I wrote them a letter, gave them pictures, printed the law, highlighted the verbiage, and told them exactly what they needed to do for my title.
I still have an emissions inspection with the state scheduled for the middle of July incase this doesn't work. I even put my cats back on just in case... hopefully I can cancel this meeting.
