Has anyone out there delt with this situation? Is there a DMV office open on New Year's day for this (LOL)? I was looking over the DMV website, and I was not able to figure out if I'd have to wait a full year (if I missed out on the first 500) to register the car, so as to avoid the emissions test.
Bear in mind, I don't plan on starting the order process for at least 3 years (barring any unexpected lottery luck  ). I'm just trying to get a handle on what would need to be done so as to be a little more prepared when the time comes. I know, the regs. could be completely different in 3 years, but I feel it's good to know how these regs. might at least progress between now and then.
Thanks again,

Yep, if you miss the 500, you either have to wait until the following
year, or you have to comply with current calendar year smog
requirements. There used to be some great info, basically a step
by step process with suggestions on how to get through the SB100
process at
CobraTrader , but the site is down for
upgrades right now.
Basically, you need DMV forms REG 343, REG 5036 and REG 124 (124
you have to get at the DMV), and have as many receipts as possible
for engine, transaxle, bill of sale of the SPF GT40, basically all paperwork
showing where the major components came from. Superformance will
give you a Certificate of Origin or similar as well.
Once you get to the DMV, bring the REG 343 and REG 5036, ask for
a REG 124 and let them know that you want to register the vehicle
under SB100. If there are certs left, you are in and can begin the
process. You will be given a 20 day period where the vehicle can be
driven to the CHP for the VIN (REG 124), a smog referee for your
exemption, and the safety/lights/brakes test at an approved testing
station. Again, bring all of your paperwork/receipts/etc. with you,
especially the CHP, just in case. Once you finish those 3 steps (in that
order by the way), then it's back to the DMV to turn in everything and
get your plates.
