[/quote]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. [/quote]

My car was brought into British Columbia from Ontario. In order to get registration here, the car has to be inspected. Allegedly, this was supposed to have been done...but it must have been done by a blind person. I'm thinking that a few greenbacks may have changed hands here. Hence, we are rebuilding the entire car.
