That's why most build them on VW bug chassis, the title says it's still a VW. Plus the older the title/chassis then you have no emissions to deal with.
BTW I sold a 356A coupe kit shell a couple of years ago to one of our better known kit car builders, because it was "parts" he had no problem crossing the border.
I also sold a rough 356A, that many would mistake for scrap, to a guy in Jersey and he had no problem getting it across.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
