Sounds like the best bet would be to keep current registration w/tags for the older vehichles you want to keep and drive.Hopefully when they really start to bear down and stop any new registrations on older vehichles,the existing-currently registered ones can be grandfathered in ,and our parts vehicles we'll just have to keep out of sight.
Hopefully our 3/4- 1ton PWs can be exempt as commercial or work trucks as they have been, concerning past restrictive auto legislation.
I expect one day they'll try to stop anyone not zoned light industrial and (or) living in a subdivision from keeping a welder,cutting torch,large air compressor,any lathe or other fab. type machine,in their home or garage.I guess we're best controlled when we become totally dependent and lose our ability to be self-sufficent.Working on your own stuff,saving money in parts and labor doesn't help the economy and deprives the government of needed tax revenue.What do we need money for anyway?,the government already thinks we don't need but about half of what we earn now and if we all just work our jobs without pay,they'll give us all we need and tell us how and what to think.who knows better than uncle sam what is best for us?Our gov. has and is enacting laws to guide us towards a more perfect society and makes wonderful laws to control the things they think we should or should not have,do,think,or say.We should be ashamed not to trust them.Sorry guys,one too many brews today.
