A friend sent me this photo... now I think I need one. Time to convince the Mrs. that this would be a useful addition to the collection -

Appreciate the update, but I'm an older 'car dude' & fully aware of the FMVSS door sticker, and fully aware of the exemption years.... and also an old car enthusiast, punishment glutton, etc. I even know the history of the FMVSS standards, dates they went into effect, etc. But it makes for...

I'd have to say that the WisDOT folks evidently DON'T understand the Federal regs... obviously ANYTHING built before '68 - civvy or MV - is non-compliant?

Neo - I raised the question before, but don't know that it was answered in regards to who has a burr in their saddle in WisDOT. Granted, I have zero skin in the game, but misguided legislation has this nasty ability to encroach on other states at times... Keep up the battle, folks! 'Tanner'

The tank strainer obviously wasn't effective at keeping the cat out of the tank? :grin: Lots of crap in that tank; I hate to think of what's in my '37's tank... Good luck! 'Tanner'

Is there any benefit to bringing in FMVSS or Federal level DOT 'experts' to assist with insuring that the WisDOT folks understand the FMVSS perspective for older vehicles? 'Tanner'

... but apps won't work on SS forum.

Don't some phones still have a crank on one end? :wink:

I think the revised posting rules are fine... And it allows one to post non-inflamatory comments or remarks on the forums that are neutral in tone, not condescending, are unbiased, uncolorful, non-confrontational, or otherwise inflammatory. ...it's all now a kinda beigey, warm & touchy...

...built by lowest bidder?

The challenge with Historic/Antique/etc., tags is that you typically are limited to parade use, car shows, an occasional joy ride, etc. Too restrictive for what these MV's can do & were designed to do. To the OP, rmvivas, I'd recommend that you vacate NY... the laws are stupid. :cookoo: But...

Check your IP & have it set to factory specs. Turning up the IP on a weakened/wounded engine just exacerbates the problems & helps find the weak link in the chain faster...

Confirmed that injection pump is still within specs?

More looking shows this: http://www.dmv.ny.gov/forms/mv114.pdf - this is straight from NY DMV website. Looks like this form says 5,500 lbs is your target weight unladen - then you decide on Commercial or Passenger... Pickup trucks w/ unladen weight of 5500 lbs or less, that are used as a...

...why do you want to cheat the system? And upon looking at the NY DMV info, you've got to get it below 5,000 lbs... What are you going to do if you get pulled later for a weight check? Is the cost for Commercial tags vs non-commercial a wallet-breaker for you? A 2010 Suburban 1500 curbs at...

Appreciate the update motorolanut... as I stated, I do not know Dan, so ican't speculate on the situation. Good luck DAP - 'Tanner'

Follow up on Titles through Dan Foukes - he evidently got the slap-down from the Michigan DMV... TITLE SERVICE - DETROIT VINTAGE CYCLES "Hello, As of July 3, 2011, I am sorry to...

Dan WILL NOT title any longer as of July 3, 2011... TITLE SERVICE - DETROIT VINTAGE CYCLES "Hello, As of July 3, 2011, I am sorry to inform you that the Michigan Secretary of State...

I just purchased a set of 5 wheels (from a fellow on the Power Wagons forum) that were made using M37 centers welded into 16.5x9.75 rim shells... getting the rims blasted & ready for paint now. I'd like to locate a set of 17" rim shells to see what would be required to recenter them with M37...
