Hi Scott, I live in white lake, work in Farmington Hills. My chassis is off to Powdercoat right now and I still have to order stage 2. I am just finishing up the wire harness. My build is moving on the slower side, I hope to get the engine running this winter and drivable by mid summer next year. Got my cobalt in early May 2020. I know a couple kit car people in MI and they say the registration is just a matter of finding the right police officer to do the inspection. I also chatted with a Goblin owner from the forum early on who was able to register his (no bumpers, plexiglass windshield, no wipers).
