The way you started the thread here and on other boards got people suspicious. I think what others and I are wondering is exactly if you're going to be able to easily register these cars. As I've said before I have built a couple of replica kit cars and in California it is not a simple process to get them registered. The least it has taken me is 5 trips to the DMV. The other concern is if they're considered a kit car they will be shoved into the smog program, requiring inspection every two years. Even though a 69 Camaro is not currently tested these will be. And they will be required to have all the smog in place for the year of the engine so anything 66-later will need a closed air cleaner, possible smog pump, EGR, hot air tube, etc. I would say the vast majority of the real 69 Camaro's wouldn't pass the visual check in my state, but since they are not tested it's not real critical. However these will be tested which GREATLY affects the powerplants you'd be able to use, unless you're prepared for adding all the smog along with the donor motor.

The other concern is I've seen these cars at SEMA last year, and the build quality was terrible. I've fought trying to get some reproduction parts to fit, and now you have an entire car made of reproduction parts. Are they doing anything about the fit and finish of these cars?
