INSPECTION AND REGISTRATION
Without researching and writing an entire book on the subject, it is impossible to give up-to-date information on the process
of inspection and registration in every state. You must call your state Department of Motor Vehicles or its equivalent to get
local procedures and restrictions. Most states have a pamphlet outlining the requirements for composite cars.
E.R.A. has compiled comments from several forums at http://www.erareplicas.com/statereg.htm .
All states will require a Certificate of Origin for the kit (supplied by ERA) and reciepts for all major components. Many states
will want to install a new State Identification Plate (in addition to the E.R.A. ID plate).
Most states fall into 4 inspection categories:
1. Inspections are done only by central or regional motor vehicle inspection stations.
2. Inspections may be done by a local state inspection station. That is, a branch of the state Motor Vehicle Department.
3. Inspections may be done by authorized (private) inspection stations.
4. No direct inspection is necessary.
