Several days ago I was searching the 'net for information regarding motor vehicle equipment laws for the State of Wisconsin. I was quite pleased to find the following data on the Wisconsin State Patrol website. I followed the links and browsed the <.pdf> files which are very helpful to ensure that your vehicle will be in compliance with equipment and licensing laws. I am intending to inquire at the local government agencies to learn if there are hard copies of these laws available so I don't have to print out my own version of them from the Adobe Acrobat files.
Although the descriptive text I pasted below is regarding homemade or reconstructed vehicles, the files themselves contain information regarding all classifications of vehicles in Wisconsin. This information is invaluable regarding construction, licensing, and operation of modified, homebuilt, reconstructed, antique, motorcycle, or other classifications of vehicles in the State of Wisconsin.
I urge members of this forum to search online for this type of official motor vehicle data for your own state of residence and post the links in the forum to assist your fellow hotrodders who will have need of this information.
If I may be so bold, I also recommend that if enough of these official links (or actual data) gets posted to the forums, it all gets compiled into a prominent area of the boards for ready reference by all subscribers.

Homemade or reconstructed vehicles
Homemade vehicles are motor vehicles constructed or assembled from new or used parts. Reconstructed vehicles are motor vehicles substantially altered or modified from the original manufacturer's specifications. (see Wisconsin Administrative Code Trans 305.065 http://www.legis.state.wi.us/rsb/code/trans/trans305.pdf and Wisconsin Statutes 341.268(1)(b) and (d)) http://www.legis.state.wi.us/statutes/Stat0341.pdf .
