I can explain the reflectors, when i went for the inspection all the auto parts store had were the ugliest, hoopty style. so after the inspection I took those off and before the new ones were installed I snapped a couple pics for you. As for the tires I just plain didnt want to spend the money for DOT's then buy the tires I really wanted, so I took a chance and it worked out OK for a change. The one I'm building next WILL be 100% for sure, Ive used all my luck getting mine passed !
