I'm curious how much modification can one make to the frame and chassis of an automobile before it can no longer be recognized by the department of motor vehicls (DMV) and registered.

Wit the dolphin, I can still see the Geo Metro up front, but the rear has been chopped and reformed.

Can the original Geo be modified to something with even less drag - ie. a 2 seat tandem, 3 feet wide and torpedo shaped with moped wheels and dropping the total weight down to 800 pounds? Could you still register and have it inspected as a Geo and pass a safety inspection?

Or is there no limit except to retain the VIN number plate somewhere on the dash?
