Unfortunately, you will probably get little help, and probably resistance by working with Kathy in compliance.

My first time around with Albany DMV and I received a letter from Kathy "We regret to inform you...."

Subsequently I worked with Mark Engel. He was VERY helpful and guided me through the maze of regulations involved with the NY custom registration process.

Our situations are different - I was registering a new SPF for the first time - but I would highly recommend trying to reach Mark at the Albany DMV. His email address at the time was menge(at)dmv.state.ny.us

Your hurdle is trying to get that 2004 vehicle past downstate emission regulations. Explain to him what the car is (kit manufacturer/MSO date, ect- he knows the Cobra replicas) and hopefully he can help.

hope this helps,
