I was always led to believe that you guys up there had it fairly easy to get your cars on the road..Or is that just California??We have to build our rods,or any modified vehicle to a construction code,and have a very large manual,funnily enough called Code of Constuction manual,as an example,there are 35 pages just on seating and seat belts alone.Our vehicles are built with the assistance of a CERTIFIER,who will go over the whole job and inspect everything that has been built,modified,dicked with,and pass or fail,give it a brake test,60mph to zero in about 4 seconds,and do that three times in a couple of minutes without brake fade,if it doesnt pass the test for one reason or another,you can then take it back home,do your repairs/mods and take it back for another try..This is usually about $1000,for the certifier to go over the build as you are building and consequently,the final road testing,paper work etc.From there,allthe paperwork gets sent to the LVVTA,Low Volume VehicleTesting Authority,for a pretty little alloy plate about 4'' square,with said vehicles details on it,engine/trans,steering,braking,seating,rear end,etc...And THEN,you may present it to the LTSA,Land Transport Authority,or agent to get its warrant of fitness,[every six months]and your registration sticker and plates..more expense..but for a vehicle 40 years or over,it only costs about $78 a year..But thats how it is down here,could get worse yet,the government has been squeezing us for a few years now,the manual is the on going work of one guy with a fair bit of help with a few transport people to keep us on the road.If any one is interested in it ,contact me,dont wanna post any links in case I get ma butt singed..
