That is why you get the license plates to go with it that say "hobbyist" or whatever word your state uses for modifide vehicle, like hot rods, my electric citi-car needs a new body so I'm making it out of ply wood and epoxy, because it's not going to be a stock vehicle I have Hobbyist plates for it, according to the DMV I can now modify that vehicle in any way that I want as far as body and power train and as long as it's has proper lights and fenders and fallows all the other laws for the year that it was titled then I'm perfectly safe to drive it on the road and I suspect that just like my commuta-car I'll get fallowed (but never pulled over) and if I get pulled over they will have nothing other then a possible harassment complainant coming their way.
