Unless they are already registered they have to go thru special registration in CA. Check with your state on home built specialty cars. In CA they require a special limited permit from DMV and most are taken right after they are available January 1st.

Then they have to be inspected by the CHP. Your state may be different but good to know prior to purchase. The hassle may outweigh the benefits. The benefits are you can put anything that will fit and the only limit is how much you throw at it. Less so is resale....the resale price drops like a fat chick's dress on prom night.....hence my recommendation to buy someone else's project or running ride.

As to comfort? Fuggetabout it....ain't gonna happen. How much is involved? Think $40K and then add or deduct how stupid you can be.....I had a great time building and driving it. Lost my ass on it when I had to dump it during my divorce.
