For those of you that are running buggies with CA plates. How much if any of the original vehicle is left? Would front fenders, hood and grill work? Do you run it on the street and has Johnny law stopped you? I’m trying to decide if I should go the legal route, green sticker it, register it as special construction, or just run the plates on it. The only original parts would be hood, fenders, and grill, but narrowed.

I've seen a guy runnin a tube frame dune buggie in Concord with lights, turn signals and mud flaps. It has a plate and looks to be registered. However, I would have to guess he gets stopped often because it doesn't look legal :)

I posted a similar question a few months back.
My big question was how do these people get away with registering Sandrails.
Blinkers headlights taillights Windshield and what sort of Title can you apply to the thing?

Specialty vehicle reg. But you've got to meet smog for the engine you use (and yes you need full documentation) along with brake cert, head lamp cert, and windshield, and safety equipment. I have to talk to Steve about the engine to see what it's going to take, or a run a Scout 800 body.
Doable as long as you don't have to deal with the smog nazi's

Joe,
Unless I'm :smokin: something, why can't you use a 71 SII as your "donor"???
I thought the heavy emissions stuff started in 74 or so???
I'm glad I live in the real SD :grinpimp:

The reggy is for a Scout 800, last thing I need is to get a smart officer, that knows the diff between SII and 800 sheet metal :p
