Hi guys! Tomorrow the Motor Vehicle Department inspector will come to my home to inspect my BDR in order to title it in Spain...it will be the first Backdraft here. This kind of vehicles are not allowed to run because they dont match european standards (noise, emissions, lights, etc) the only way to title a BDR is to get Antique plates, and tomorrow the inspector will come to inspect it..... he will ask me many questions and I must to answer many lies (i.e. Carroll Shelby itself have built my BDR for one of his sons 40 years ago..) ....When I sent photos and documentation for previous business they said to me that quick jacks will not be allowed......today I changed it for overriders (Jay, no problem installing it)....tomorrow I will post you with inspector decission......please pray with me...if I dont get plates I will be the unic man in the world watching TV in my living room on a Cobra!

Cheers

Alfonso

I was not aware of this end of the deal. If I knew it was 40 years old I would not have spent $250 on the detailer. Hope things go well for you. Glad the bumpers worked out. Best of luck.
