If needed, the detail on the Composite Emissions Exemption is the Registration Forum, it's a long Thread.
When the exemption became effective, all the Emissions Testing stations received a letter , do not recall if it was from the DMV or Emissions, informing them of the exemption. At the time, I read the letter, so I know it exists. Maybe one of the testing stations might still have their copy.
On the CT Emissions web site key in your VIN, if the registration was processed correctly, should not be a required test date for the Composite. I have not done this for some time, hope it is still working

The web site for CT Emissions will indicate the Composite Exemption

" Composite Vehicles ( Effective July 1, 2007) ( Vehicles must be registered as a composite vehicle) "
Additionally, the 4C's ( Ct Council of Car Clubs ) is actively working on legislation to have the registration year of kit cars/Composites be the year that the vehicle resembles.
Some supporting items from the Thread:
