We will be finishing up on few customers cars over the next few months and are considering starting a new project.We are going to try to build us some type of handcrafted car(we have a big hammer and a stump).We have been considering building something like a vicky.We need something with enough room to haul the rugrats around to some of the shows.Does anybody have any cool ideas are photos of something the would like to see built.Looking to post progress from start to finish on here.Also how do you go about getting one ***led in Georgia? Thanks everyone, Jonathan www.micklerscustomsolutions.com
Start with an existing car....then modify 99.9% of it to look like you want it to. Find something cheap from the right era and turn it into what you want it to be. Since you REALLY won't be using much of the original, you could start with something that was run over by a train.
i would love to see the one wrench car built. Me and my dad are talking about something like that but with a high rpm street bike motor in it.I think it would be cool as hell. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176770&highlight=one+wrench+car
Search your state's dmv website for kit car, recreation, special construction, and homebuilt vehicle registration. every state's different. Your three main concerns, aside from choosing the most favorable cl***ification for your car, should be safety/required equipment, emissions, and taxes. In general: 1. Save all your receipts so the state can tax you accordingly. 2. Know your state's required equipment, like mufflers, parking lights, seat belts, turn signals, fenders, windshield wipers, etc. 3. Know your state's emissions requirements. Often times emissions standards apply to the year of the engine. So if you have a 1959 engine you're in the clear. A new engine, maybe not.
