Thank you everyone. I have decided to order the DF bumpers, put them on as-is, and see if I can get it by the inspection. If not I will modify those to meet the requirements. I appreciate all your input!

Lol, yes, way too many people moving here. You would not believe how many plates I see regularly from Washington, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Colorado and even the most from California and Texas...

Great, thanks Karter

Thanks. Not quite done but getting there. Yes, the fenders are required as well. I also have to add red rear reflectors and raise the headlights 2.5" higher. I also need to find a clip on manual wiper for the windshield since that is required too.

This is a good idea and I will look into it. The build is complete with the exception of the new wheels and seats that we are waiting for, so I will probably have to disassemble and get powder coat re-done if they can't do a full bolt on design.

Is theirs completely custom or a modified off the shelf version? How wide is yours Karter?

Looking for any ideas the community has for bumper options. Requirements for titling here in Idaho are front and rear bumpers. They have to be at least 4 1/2" in height mounted a maximum of 22" from the ground to the highest part of the bottom of the bumper. They also "shall extend in width to...

No, and as far as I can find, the NHTSA considers these kit cars as "used" vehicles and therefore not subject to the FMVSS. I believe I am safe in self-certifying that. My issues I think are mostly whats in the Chapter 9, Title 49. This includes rated bumpers, which Adam says theirs are not. And...

In the process of trying to register our Goblin in Idaho. Having real issues as they changed the requirements to state that specially constructed vehicles that "the owner will complete a self-certification on a form prescribed by the department stating that the vehicle is in compliance with...

Brad, I am interested in getting one of these as well. Please put me on the list, sent PM. I will also be ordering one of the ABS Eliminators! Can't wait for the extra HP! Awesome work sir!

Thanks guys!

Anyone remember/know where the steering setup video or post is? I remember going through something that showed moving lock to lock and putting tape etc. but can't for the life of me remember where?

Thanks guys. Not really a avid poster, more of a reader :). I have been reading in the forums since before we decided to start the order/build. I think we will put together a build log, probably as we get a little closer to the end. My son has even done video of some of it for timelapses. In...
