Street Modified vehicles qualify for either a normal licence plate (personalized plates, etc.) or a Hobbyist Plate.  The advantage of a hobby plate is that you pay a one time fee, approximately $160, but then the plate is good for your lifetime.  It can also be transferred to another car should you sell the existing car and purchase another which also qualifies for the Hobby plate.  If you purchase additional qualified vechilces, the plate cost for each is reduced to $110.

In the event the owner does not have a title (but the vehicle has an original VIN) you must apply for a replacement title using state form MV-1.  The WDOT may require that the VIN be inspected and certified by a law enforcement officer (state or local police) and then their certification forwarded to the WDOT.

Replica Vehicles do not require a state safety inspection.  Instead, the owner will complete [http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/forms/mv2855.pdf form MV2855] to "self certify" that the vehicle meets all required safety standards.  As with Street Modified vehicles, the applicable safety standards are those for the year the car replicates.  For example, if you have 1932 Ford kit car, it must meet the safety requirements in place during 1932.
