With all the arguments about rat rods and how unsafe some of them are, has anyone ever purposely pushed the limits to see how wild they could throw together a vehicle and still get it passed their state’s safe inspection rules? (no fair if your state doesn’t have such rules!) So they could be legally driven on the highway.

The standard items inspected are seat belts, brake system, exhaust system, fuel system, turn signals, brake lamps, tail lamps, head lamps, steering mechanism, tires, and windshield wipers. So maybe you can only push the state law so far!

Even so I would like to hear about them.

And is it true that these states do not require any form of vehicle safety inspections?
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. These must be rat rodder heavens!
