Nope not street legal yet. Trailered it to the show.
Once I get my side windows in Ill plan for the VIN inspection.
Then my Safety inspection after that.
But found out my trans is on its way out leaving the show. Started rebuilding my spare yesterday. So may not be street legal till next year.

Are you sure you can't fix that trans before winter? Going to be a long time until next spring.

Have a spare c4 in my garage that I have a rebuild kit for. Pulled it apart and got it all back together except the on-way clutch has some broken springs. But once those get here I can put it all back together and it should be much stronger then before.
Hard part is getting the old trans out as I built a lot of the car around it. May be fun..

Been awhile.
Covid slowed my process, didn't do a alot in 2020.
Built myself a gear select indicator and started working on getting the wooden box floor in.
Should have a VIN #for it this winter and final inspection this spring.

Been awhile again.
Truck has a VIN!
Finally found a guy to help get my safety inspection, but then everything went sideways. House and truck were in a massive hailstorm while I was on holidays. Long story short, looks like it will again be pushed. So Next year.... I hope it will finally, legally be on the road.
