I am just about to finish a Race Car Replicas SLC. I currently live in California but bought a little land in Texas and plan to build a house there just out of the city limits of New Braunfels.

My question is would it be better for me to wait until I am living in Texas to register my SLC or do it here in Calif, then transfer registration to Texas.

It's not the money I am most concerned about but the difficulty. I know how to do a kit car in Calif as I also have a GTD GT40 and did that here under CA SB100 several years ago.

Should I just do a SB 100 again here for my SLC and transfer when I move to Texas? Can a specially constructed vehicle legally registered in Cal be re-registered as a similar type of vehicle in Texas and keep the favorable Smog requirement rule. I currently do not do smog inspections ever on my GT40 and no specifications are made for it under SB100 here in CA.

I should add that I have a SBC (sorry Ford guys) with a Holley and a roller cam in the car and I am SURE it won't pass any smog inspection standard. This would be fine here in Calif.

What do you TX guys think.
