Example:
Motor- LS1
Frame- Homebuilt
Body- R33
Electronics- Haltech
What % nissan is that?
I know this plan won't work, but I'm kind of a "info whore" so I like to know thease things.

Let me see if I can explain this AGIAN.
It is illegal to IMPORT a "main" automotive component or automobile that does not certify to US standards UNLESS they are imported in "OFF-ROAD USE ONLY" status.
MAin Automotive components include: Airbags, Engines, Trannies, Chassis, etc.
If you can not legally import the parts for road use....than you can NOT use them for Kit Car Status.
Don't put the buggy in front of the horse here.
1st: Figure out how you are legally going to get the car/parts into the united states.....
2nd: worry about regisration by the individual states.
You'll never get past the 1st step.
