That helped, thank you. But there is still unanswered questions. That law mainly covers salvage operations but does mention repair and restorations. But it also reverts back to state law which will take precedence, as in Jody's point on smog equipment requirements for CA. This is taken right from the reg, " a person who repairs such vehicle or part, if the removal, obliteration, tampering, or alteration is reasonably necessary for the repair". What is reasonable?
