Registering Total Perf cars in CT
How do your kits get thru the Connecticut DMV? Are they considered "composite vehicles"? Would I end up getting stuck with the "smog tax"? Do your frames have legal VIN numbers?

If you have proper Title and it matches the VIN there is no inspection

Unless its a lost or has a salvage you should have no problems
I live in NY but have a summer place in CT and I use which ever state is easier to register the vehicle

Thats just it...
Does the Total Performance kits have a VIN? Or do I have to go to the DMV to get one assigned to the car... If I have to go thru the DMV for a VIN assignment, Does it have to be registered as a 2006 composite making it get slammed with all sorts of modern vehicle requirements (like emmisions compliance for example)? I researched this a bit and it seems that Total Performance dances around this topic...

Total Performance gives you a MSO or Manufacture's State of Origin. Total Performance company is located in Wallingford Conneticut, I'd bet sombody from there staff knows what to do. Email Brian Mccalister from T performance ( spellings wrong but he normally deals with the Emails and is very knowlagable ) he probably knows how to get them registered. Originally Posted by Gusaroo

Well, I was looking at purchasing an orig 32 ford body sitting on a Total Perf frame, neither the body nor the frame had a vin plate on it. This scared me cause if I couldn't register it as an orig 32, it would have to go thru as an 06 composite vehicle. Believe me, I know what I am talking about, I just went thru this whole mess getting a converted dirt bike registered as a street bike and I had to go thru CT composite vehicle inspection program. The rules are pretty strict for a bike, and and even moreso for autos. Just wondering how Total get their kits thru the dmv with out such things as bumpers, fenders, cats etc etc... And if me purcahsing this 32 is even worth the hassle in CT...
Everyone tells me to email Total directly, but I was looking for real life experiences from the public at large..Last edited by Gusaroo; 10-31-2006 at 08:40 AM.

Yeah, but it's a TP frame. They may put a MSO out for each frame - and the public at large won't be able to verify that. Only TP can.Jack
