Heres an update. Im still in the process of getting the car registered. I had my CHP appointment and they assigned my VIN. Then i immediately went to DMV and they issued me my SB100 sequence number and a temporary operating permit. Now i have to wait for the physical certificate in the mail from DMV. When i receive that certificate i could go to the CARB referee for an inspection and that should finalize my CA DMV registration process.

I have about 1300 miles on it now. Unfortunatelly last week while driving on the freeway, my engine just died. I had to get the car towed home. Turns out my MSD ignition box went out and i have to replace/repair it.
