I don't know about your state but here in NY you're better off registering it as a motorcycle. Granted, you have to wear a helmet, but you need absolutely no safety gear. I have the packet from the NYSDMV on registering a homemade car and basically they say whatever year the engine is, is what year the car is. So if you use a 1972 engine, you're pretty much free to build anything. If you use a 2011 engine, you need everything a 2011 car needs such as obd-2, air pressure sensors, catalytic converter, safety glass, smog equipment, traction control, etc. but like I said, every state is different so you'd have to check your local DMV
