As for the frame square tubing is used. I also found out the it is a "custom kit". The chassis was fabricated on a jig, and did not come complete. He said that it was an option, but the previous owner opted to buy the plans and weld up the frame himself. Since this is the case could it be registered as a custom car and not a kit car? Since the chassis did not come from an authorized dealer? and was made from scratch? I am just supposing everything here, and thinking out loud if you will. I have yet to see the car and will post the pictures later today. It may end up being a mess anyways.

Unless the builder can prove to you that he is a licensed and certified welder, I would pass on it. And don't go by the looks of the welds. I have seen good looking welds fail.
