Each glider kit sought to be registered shall be inspected by the Secretary of State Department of Police who shall verify the chassis, cab, front axle, and other essential parts as acceptable. Upon successful completion of the inspection, the vehicle may be registered in the following manner: (1) the make of the vehicle shall be listed as the make of the chassis of the actual manufacturer; (2) the model of the vehicle shall be listed as glider kit; and (3) the year of the vehicle shall be listed as the year presented on the manufacturer's certificate of origin for the chassis, unless no year is presented, then it shall be listed as the year the application is received.
