Found a shop in Garden Grove that inspected the car without issue and understands kit cars. Same experience as kobra01.

Also had an issue at DMV with serial number from Cert of Origin not being in 2 places on the car and sent me to the local CHP office. Added the Factory Five metal plate which comes pre-stamped and also stamped the serial number on the driver's side door support tube. CHP officer had no issue at all and car has passed all inspections so ready for a final DMV visit this Friday. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
