    Low welcome to CHR i have learned a great deal of knowledge here .



    Like Jim says you can build one inexpensive . Fabbing skills get really good this way .

    This is my first build and for chassis i did it for about half of what they sell for . I didn't hold back for any safety i thought should be on it . I figure with my labor i'm still way out front here.

    For registration you have to check your local DMV laws . Some threads on the site address them from various states . Cali may have been one but i'm not sure . Many states are changing there recontsruction and specialty vehicle laws concerning this.

    You can expect to do some work with any fiber glass body you purchase. Gaps and things of this sort will need attention . If you want it smooth , butter and blocking will be the only way .
