GR,
I have talked to the Calif. DMV and also to a man in Sacramento that worked for Johannesson. He said if I had a turn key car built that was a Cobra or street rod and would just get the builder to furnish the required receipts as to what everything cost, body, chassis, etc. then it would go right in under the SB-100 and I could have it built in any state or place. SB-100 also lets the owner choose if he wants to register it under the year body style or the year of engine make. A no brainer. Use the body style. Wheather you actually put the car together yourself or HIRE it done is irrelevant. But up here even getting a new car from Ford or any other auto maker registered is always a mess as no one in our DMV knows anything except when it is break time.
