I don't know who's gonna look at it...I know that when I register my car, they never actually see it. So, why couldn't you buy an old beat up Fiero or something and say that your new kit car is based on the old Fiero(using the Fiero VIN)? That way you're only responsible for passing mid-80s emission levels, not 2004+...
