well..when i say 'random crap' i dont mean stuff that would kill someone on the road. like, my reverse lights dont go on when i throw it in reverse, i could fail for that and from what i hear i have to do something in the tranny to make that work. my rear tires stick out beyond the flares also. my friend said it wont pass mvc inspection either because of the cam thats in there. but trust me, the car is safe to ride around it, just has stupid things not done to it to make it fail an mvc inspection

Do you have an aftermarket or replacement shifter? It sounds like the reverse lights aren't hooked up to that. And if that's the case, I'd check the neutral safety switch as well.

I don't know that they check if the reverse lights are working. My 79 has a switch mounted on the dash for the reverse lights because they don't work off the shifter. It actually passed DMV inspection once.

Put a cat on it... you barely lose anything with one. Your inspection stick though...theres ways around that.

most don't. you are supposed to check every exterior light and reflector. i think you need one interior light....not sure
