By its very definition, this is the category most hot rods fit into. In order to title a vehicle in this category the owner must file form MV2855 (http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/forms/mv2855.pdf) (Note: you must have Adobe Acrobat installed to read and download this link) This is a surprisingly simple form which designates the VIN, year, model and weight of the car along with your name and address. Most notably this form also serves as a "self affirmation" that the vehicle meets all applicable state safety requirements. In the case of Street Modified and Replica vehicles, the applicable safety requirements are those that were in effect IN THE YEAR THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED. Thus, if you have a 1932 Ford, you must meet the safety requires that were in effect in 1932. There is no state safety inspection required for vehicles in this category. It should be noted, however, that state or local police CAN site you for safety violations if they should stop you and determine you are not in compliance. In the event this happens, the owner needs to be intimately familiar with the state code governing these vehicles. | By its very definition, this is the category most hot rods fit into.
