excellent news! I just got off the phone with PennDOT and they are on board for the most part. They directed me to a couple Federal agencies regulating safety, emissions and customs and importing. Those are my big hurtles now. Supposedly, they shouldn't be too much trouble either....it just takes time and effort.
Right now, my only concerns are emission standards and customs/importing fees. Emissions can be dealt with. The customs fees though scare me, We'll just have to see what they are.

I can also bring these in as kit cars. By definition, a kit car is any assembly. That means if they just take the rear view mirrors off and I have to put them back on I can call it a kitcar...but it will say that on the title. So, I want to go the full boat and get Fed approval to get regular titles.

I'm guessing that all of you would turn your noses up at RHD as well so I would want to convert these to LHD. Sound about right?

where in Mexico, Baja, mainland, east/west coast?
I could definitely use a Japanese liason if this gins up. Being in Mexico isn't a problem. This job is probably going to require a lot of frequent flyer miles anyway.

the big question is, are you 18?
