I think it's a great idea, but then I've considered making Peyote
street legal so I could drive it to the track. Just one of those
whacky ideas. My Ambro will definitely be street legal.
Regs vary greatly from state to state, but in almost any state you can
do a once-in-your-life special registration that covers almost any
construction. the DMV is not generally interested in much, you don't
even need headlights in most states . You need to find out local
biases and talk to someone at the DMV. Talk to the local hot rodders
and find where the most lenient inspectors are.
