In Virginia 3 wheels means motorcycle. The State Police Inspector looks it over for safety and proof of purchase of "major" components. Then they will issue a VIN number and you get a title.
I've built a trailer from scratch and a 49 Plymouth on a Nissan truck frame with a 240z engine. It was titled as the car but I had title to the frame and the engine was bought by my old business. That satisfied them but the key was I had title to the 49 Plymouth.
I don't see any insurmountables. The remaining question is how they categorize it. If considered a motorcycle then I can operate it freely. If they categorize it as a "specialty vehicle" then it has the same operational limitations as an antique car which means 250 mile radius of operation and not daily driven-ridden.
I'm going for option 1, but if two is the best I can do, so be it. I'd say the odds are 90% I'll be able to operate it as any motorcycle.
Someone earlier asked about the windshield. I already have it in lexan, plus the rest of a 4X8 sheet for the gullwing doors and some more next to my head when in the driver's seatfor side and rear visibility.
Picked up all the rest of the stuff I need to get it running, basically all intake, fuel delivery, electrical, and exhaust, air box, emissions, instruments. The radiator and fan are at my youngest brothers house,waiting for me to get there.
