Electric Car Conversion 3-6-2007

I return to the DMV in the BGT and wait another hour waiting for my number to be called.
A few people come up to me and ask about the vehicle out in the parking lot.
The DMV guy confirms the VIN on the PAN but gives up when he gets to the engine.
He tells me I need to go to the highway patrol (CHP) for further VIN inspection.
He says something about not being able to see any Fed. Cert..
The DMV guy from yesterday comes out to look at the car as well, but not in an official capacity.
I receive a temporary placard that I tape to the rear window.
The CHP schedules me for a VIN inspection on 3-14-2007.
