Sense this is a open discussion, and a very important open discussion at that. maybe just bouncing a few ideas around that will help folks get there cars registered would be a good thing.

I have just recently, about a year and a half ago, moved from Ca to Alabama. I whished that I had made this move 10 years ago. Life here is so much easier and simplier than in Ca. the political climate there makes every part of daily life a real chore. But last time I checked California is still a part of the Union, and being a part of that Union should ( I almost said MUST) abide by the established laws of the other states. By that I mean if you do in fact have your Hot Rod "Legally" registered in another state, California should respect that registration. So if ( IF) I am correct in that what is keeping folks from registering in another state, or buying a car built and registered in another state, with that car being complettly legal there, and just transfering this perfectly legal registration to California.

This appears to me to be a way around this problem, but I sure could be missing something. Show me the error of my thoughts.

Dave, SEMA may be trying what ever they can do make these cars legal. But from Thurms post it would seem that Pete Chapouris and SEMA took a damn strange path around the barn.
