   I visited my local DMV last Dec. in then cal to go an idea what would be needed equally well. I never heard about a two year expect but I practice know that the land issues 500 smog exemptions each year starting on January 1st. When I was in there back in Dec of '15 they still had plenty of them left. I was asking them more than virtually transferring out of state titles rather than registering "new construction. If you take a look at the dmv website you can wade through the various areas and you might find some more insight. The way I sympathize it is you utilise for a title and smog exemption, go your vehicle inspected past CHP, accept it to a Smog cheque station to verify it has PCV valve and pay the fees. You volition most likely have to pay taxes on the value of the vehicle besides. I'm new to this game too and so I'yard hoping for the all-time when that time comes.

   I tried to post a link to the dmv "special construction" requirements only I suppose that's above my pay scale. Just search DMV ca.gov and type in "new construction" in the search box at the height of their spider web page.
   hope this helps

   The way I look at it is if a guy can take an old rusted out body, build a frame outta whatever pieces of steel he'due south had in his pile for years, find an old engine that runs hooked to a trans and rear terminate outta grampa's ol buick and put all that stuff together with a stick welder and tack on some barbed wire and old license plates all over it and call information technology a vehicle. So accept that aforementioned vehicle to the DMV and go a title... I can go my T-bucket titled in this country too.

   Lol you got that right!

   I know my problem lies right here with my local dmv. They are jerks. They exercise not know the rules so they make it up as they get. I accept had to leap some serious hoops with a few hot rods in the past and I had a signed title in my hand. I think they have a thing confronting automobile guys hither. I finally got far plenty in with people, happen to be a commune manager at the office on my fifth trip in and ge fixed it upwardly. Shook his head and gave me new plates paid my fees and went home. The gals in that location where trying to brand me smog a motorcyle on another trip. Then i only recieved the green sticker and registration papers for an atv I bought 9 months ago from the dealer. I finally called dmv Sacramento and they said the title and vin are nether audit? I said whats this mean? They said it was keyed in incorrect and it needs a smog to transfer! I said you got to be kidding me 9 months to become a title due to my yamaha race quad needs a smog! Then problem is I walk in not knowing what I want done and they enter in the wrong way on the t saucepan and I will exist in for months trying to get it sorted out. So I am hoping fir some tips from someone that has done it first mitt and what they said to go information technology done.

   I pulled this off of the net at some point.

   How to Annals a Smog Exempt Hot Rod in California

   Starting time off don't believe anything anyone says about their terrible registration ordeal it is possible to register smog exempt with the correct information and paperwork In California. There is a little known police that allows 500 vehicles every year to be registered smog exempt and utilize whatever year motor in the vehicle. Every yr starting Jan 1st California allows 500 vehicles to be registered smog exempt if you have requested from the DMV a Southward.B. #100. If you call the Agency of Automotive Repairs at 916-657-6560 and enquire them if in that location is any special construction SB 100 numbers left for the year, if they say yes you're in good shape. They won't tell you how many numbers are left for the twelvemonth merely if in that location are some nonetheless available.

   This is where the work starts you'll need the following forms

   1. Form #124 Applications for Assigned Vehicle Identification Number

   2. Form #343 Applications for Title Or Registration

   3. Form # 5036 Argument of Construction

   4. Form #256 Statements of Facts

   Fill out all forms then go to DMV with forms and receipts where you purchased everything for the car tell them you want to register this machine every bit a special construction vehicle and you need them to call Sacramento at this number 916-657-6560 and asking a Special Structure SB 100 number' they'll probably tell you at that place are no more SB 100 left for the year but yous'll know that's not true y'all have already confirmed there are numbers left. Let them know yous accept contacted The Bureau of Automotive Repairs and confirmed numbers are nonetheless remaining. This volition take a while for them to call exist patient they probably have never washed this.

   After you pay the DMV some money based on the receipts given to them for the cost of vehicle parts they volition give you a SB100 Number that's your ticket to a Smog Exempt Vehicle. They will tell you what S.B 100 number yous have only you lot will receive official observe from the DMV in about 2 weeks via U.Southward. Mail. With this SB 100 yous volition exist able to choose the year model you want to register your vehicle as.

   Now call your local Highway Patrol function and enquire for an appointment for assigned vin number. My car wasn't completed it wasn't even wired to run nonetheless. The CHP did not intendance. Allow them know how far you lot are in your construction. At that signal they fastened a vin number to my vehicle.

   When finished with CHP and you have a vin number. Adjacent is Bureau of Automotive Repair Referee Station. He'll need your auto for a visual inspection checking only for a PCV to carburetor valve and positive ventilation from a valve comprehend to the air cleaner, my car was never started upwardly at this cheque. When you lot pass the Bureau of automotive repair the last check is lights and brakes at an official inspection station.

   Each place y'all visit will requite you lot paperwork. Take all this back to the DMV and go Happy.

    Keep us posted on the progress. I but found out the engine I was going to rebuild for mine is junk. I've been getting a run around trying to get an reply to my question as to whether the year of the engine is going to matter to the referee for smog exemption when I go to register.

    From what I read on the DMV and BAR websites, the owner of the vehicle can choose to use the engine year or the body blazon (what the body most resembles) to determine the year of the vehicle under SB100. If the engine or body does not resemble a previously made engine or body year, the referee will assign it with a 1960 model year. It also states that vehicles made in the year1976 and newer require smog checks without the smog exempt SB100. So if that's the case I effigy a 1975 or older would be safety. The machine shop said he found a 1974 long cake for me and would cheque it out to see if it's usable. woooooooooo hoooooooooooooo!!

    It's been impossible to talk to an actual referee to enquire the question so far, merely I was able to exit a voice mail to ane of them I tried to contact. If I read everything correctly the year of the engine wouldn't matter if you choose to employ the body to establish the yr.
