[Tigers] Fw: How Far Can A Restoration Go?

[Steve Laifman]

Alan,

As I dimly recall, the S/N was riveted to the chassis of the Cobra in 
the earlier years, and it can be rebuilt and licensed here in 
California.  A really tough State (remember "Gone in 60 Seconds). That 
was all that was required for a T-Bone, or "A" Ford. And the same for my 
"RED TOI", which only had the donor VW platform that had the S/N stamped 
on the tunnel.

See Page 5, (with sound on):

Some cop stopped my son, Jay, (current owner), and required a vehicle 
inspection as the S/N was not "visible" through the windshield.  The 
chassis was older than the "window visible tag", so the CHP approved it.
