I finally got it registered on Thursday! My appointment at the NYS Field Inspection went smoothly. When I got home I had a message from the "good guy" at the Tech Unit in Albany and he offered to fax out the form so I could register it that day. I thought that was really cool for him to call me. What a clusterf**k the DMV was though. First, my insurance card was more than 45 days old from the effective date, had the wonderful people at Heacock Insurance fax out a new one lickety split. Then, the DMV said they couldn't register it as Historic that day, I had to mail the application into Albany... needed yet another insurance card since the one I had said Historic. Then the DMV's fax m/c kept coming up with a busy signal at Heacock, but they just kept trying until it went through. Well, I got my plates a couple minutes after they were suppose to close. Been cruising a lot... I love it! Having a ball!

mike, I went through the inspection in Buffalo, ny. I used rectangle lights with dot numbers ( they were not my final lights and they knew it). I puchased the lights at a truck stop on walden ave. The lights were about 2"x4" x 1 1/2", I faked a mount and put them were my final light would be. no problem. good luck, jim

Jim, I used SAE numbers for the lenses from a variety of sources to fill in the form that was sent in to the Tech Unit in Albany. The only thing I really did was pick up a DOT approved back up light and put some padding (water pipe insulation) on the visors and dash. The field inspection in Buffalo is mainly concerned that the car, motor or tranny isn't stolen. I had a friend of a friend that knew the senior inspector and let him know I was coming so they didn't actually check out the car at all. The biggest issue I had was which person in Albany you start out working with. I got the guy that only had a one word vocabulary... no. There is a car guy in that same unit in Albany that really went to bat for me to get the historical registration and vintage plate application through the custom plate unit. I'm using a '64 NY Worlds Fair plate, it doesn't have a front plate. Took a while, but it's all good now.
