I had the CHP come by to inspect mine, was so old and not registered it was out of the system. Unfortunately out here in loopy land there is a special tax for commercial vehicles, which these pickups are classified. So a $50 registration is $300 so they can build some high speed train from LA to SF..... never gonna happen.
Keep up the progress and I’ll some pics of my 64 soon. I can’t wait to get mine wizzing past those little v8 things!

Thanks for checking in! Looking forward to seeing your build...sounds like its got a little bit of history to it. Glad to see another inline fan. Jealous you already have the 292 in yours. I might have a line on another 292 if my dad can work out a deal with the lady that has it. I don't even have anything to put it in, but I'm a sucker for these straight sixes...especially the big ones.
Registering in SC isn't too bad thank goodness, and no car inspections either. Sorry they stick it to you in Cali.
