i always got a chuckle out of pennsylvania,s inspection code stating a 12" minimum windshield height when mopars were less than this from the factory. i can't recall any instances when tops for these vehicles were raised to accommodate the "law". that "law" is still on the books, but it has gotten to the point of being ignored with the street rod regulations in effect, and even those requirements are being ignored to the point of almost anything goes now. provided, the workmanship is done to very good standards. i was one of the individuals in the group that helped create that law, and also offered insight and suggestions for it's regulations. i am proud of the time and effort i put into that project, even though it was a difficult challenge.
About 9" front and 5" rear on mine. Ya, when I went to the Arizona DMV to get mine registered, the cop checked - NOTHING! They just assigned their own VIN to the door jam ( even though I had a C of O with the manufacturers VIN ) and that was it. They only recognize their VIN, including for insurance. If you look at the windshield lay-back on some of the newer vehicles, doubt some of them would pass the 12" Penn. minimum law if measured perpendicular to the ground.
