We passed (barely) our State Inspection today with the Ohio Highway Patrol.

They will have a new VIN tag ready in about ten days from now.

The troopers were happy with the car, except for two items: no side mirrors and no windshield wipers. They said if we add these before returning to get the VIN tag, then we'll be able to close out paperwork and get the title. We'll be adding Breeze side mirrors and Speedway Motors manual wipers (P/N 91056111) and clamp-on brackets (P/N 91656002).

The inspection took three hours; and because we used a lot of parts from our donor, they put it on a lift to check donor parts numbers / OEM ID stickers. They also had to dissolve some of the chassis paint under the dash to reveal the FFR chassis serial number.
