As I was writing that, I was trying to remember the other thing that's allowed on street rods (if they were made that way originally) but is not allowed on modern cars but I couldn't think of it. It's just come to me now - running with no doors. As with most other delivery vans and trucks up to...

LATE BREAKING NEWS - Before I bought the Cruiser, I called a certifying engineer who's sympathetic to modified cars to ask if the car could be registered and driven with a dropped I-beam front axle, a Jag rear axle, a V-8 engine, and a replacement 'glass body. He said yes, so I bought the car...

I sent a message to Oz East asking if their bodies are certified for road use, and they are. That's great because...
