How do you get a license plate on a car that was built recently, but has no airbag no anti lock brakes etc . . .
It's a new car, on a new frame. Is there a kit car exemption somewhere ?

hehe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://i4.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/82/10/ee17_12.JPG) dunno but it looks to be scooped up, in and out through the underbody w/ that shroud over the radiator. But there's this one company that's cranking out Subie powered 550 spyders (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

It is not required for new cars to have air bags and all the other stuff that cars these days have. Tons of new cars don't have anti-lock brakes.

Or are you being ironic? my humor meter might be borked.

Zach,
I was'nt being ironic, sorry. What about crash testing, and impact bumpers, then. I'm pretty sure those are required.
I'm just thinking that we keep hearing about all the regulatory hoops that auto manufacturers have to jump through (maybe I'm imagining stuff) and I wonder how an outfit like Beck's can manage that. Does Beck have full product liability insurance ? Once again I'm just wondering about some of the business aspects of that situation.

I think that when yearly output is below a certain number they wave a lot of those things...call them a "specialty car" or something....
