Likely not, but more importantly here is that antique plates are not intended for project vehicles either. That's what the 4 picture requirement used to keep out was rust-buckets and cheapskates trying to avoid car inspection fees with shit boxes that made the cut because they were old. Can you now register these shit boxes as antique and drive em to work everyday? I guess so. Is it right? No. But if the state doesn't care to enforce it and you are hell bent on having your way, go for it. What's another lie or sin these days right? Commonplace.
