It's powered by that jet engine visible in the rear. And yes, it's fully road legal and it runs.

Nah dude look at that wheel gap, bro. It needs spacers, bro. Poke or flush, bro. The rims aren't even touching the fenders, bro.

(Disclaimer: I actually have nothing against the "stance" scene)

fully road legal where the don't measure headlight or bumper height! I think that would be legal here with a Street Rod plate only

This is registered in the UK. You have separate plates for rods in US?

in certain states we do. Here in Maine we have them. The inspection on them is very light. Brakes, tires and lights

Cool! Here in Finland aka the promised land of bureaucracy we can't even have permanent plates on kit cars.

The whole law regarding modifications is based around a so called 'base car' which means completely unmodified car. There's certain percentage given to each part of the car and if the sum of modifications goes over certain percentage the car is considered as brand new and it must be taxed and tested (the same tests that manufacturers have to go through) again basically making it impossible to have very extensively modified car legally in street use.

wow, yeah these plates remove that restriction, though the chassis has to be prior to 1995 I believe. Anything newer and it has to pass emissions and a more thorough check for stock-ness
