1st part of the story which leads to below: I have a newer Z28 I drive in the summer. A few days ago I get pulled over for no front license plate and then he notices the windshield has a chip in it. He gives me a warning for both and tells me I have 30 days to fix, send in the proof they were actaually fixed or he will issue the tickets. Whether he will or not I dont know. It got me to thinking: if I drove by this guy and he pulls me over for no front plate what would he have thought if I drove by in the 48 rat..................So im close to wrapping up my rat. My question is: On about 90% of the rats ive seen and mine is included in that, most would never pass a DOT inspection. Im not saying the cars arent safe because ive over built mine as im sure others have to. What im saying is by the book, if I get pulled over, johnny law would be there for along time writing me several gift certificates. Im willing to take that chance and again most others that drive these things are to.The story above prompted me to actually go and read the laws and to be honest theres alot more than I thought I would ever need on it to make it legal. Ive built many custom bikes and the DOT guy has been at my shop many times. He goes by the book and this thing would never pass. I do have a tilte and can go that route and wouldnt need the inspection but I really dont want the hassle or expense of getting pulled over everytime I want to drive this thing. Id just as soon get rid of it. Just curious what others think about this? Im in the state of Wisconsin for reference.
