You are so knowledgeable, perhaps you can explain this tidbit on the NYS Web site pertaining to Emissions Inspection:
What motor vehicles are exempt from emissions inspection for gas-powered vehicles?
These motor vehicles are exempt from emissions inspection for gas-powered vehicles:
* Vehicles that are less than two model years old, or more than 25 model years old (for example, a 1975 model in 2001).
* Diesel-powered vehicles 8500 lbs. or less and Diesel-powered vehicles 8501 lbs. and more registered in the NYCMA area that are required to have the emissions inspection for diesel-powered vehicles.
* Electric-powered vehicles.
* Motorcycles.
* Vehicles that are registered as farm equipment or that have historical plates.
* Homemade vehicles or custom vehicles that are registered in the Upstate Area.
Perhaps you can add something here?

Most of the above is cut and dry, black and white....The rest is quite simple, in certain parts of NYS, as in certain parts of PA, you have a denser population than others. The closer you are to a major metropolitan area, the greater chance that your particular district requires emissions inspections of and and all vehicle. I do not see where you found the "Homemade vehicles or custom vehicles that are registered in the Upstate Area" on the NYS DMV web site, so I'm not sure where your going with that line, but most likely the answer is covered by my previous lines above.
I did not say you were doing anything illegal in nature, I only threw out a scenario in which you obviously took to heart, sorry, if your read it the wrong way, as that was not my intentions......As I've already stated, each district of the state of NY has it's own rules and regulations when it comes to emissions and safety inspections, some government offices are stricter in their reading of the general guidelines than others. If you follow the basics as outlined on their web site, you should have no problems in getting the car titled, registered, and insured as a 2005 "home built" or "custom" vehicle........
I do hope that you find this helpful as well. As someone who has registered homebuilts in the state of NY (Sullivan & MonroeCounties to be specific) as recently as March of 05, I am aware of how difficult it can seem, and how frustrating one could get by jumping through the hoops put forth....All I can tell you is the systems works if you go with the flow and do not rock the boat.....
Sincerely,
Bill S.
