Tape a flash light to the hood and it would pass for a legal street rod,,,,, here in Colorado anyway LOL
I went down the road once, I thought that I was sneeky, but Mudflap (Larry Jones) had a friend that saw me do it. that was in 2007.
I have my own personal test track about 3 miles from my house. On the weekends there's no one there, nice wide Industrial street, dead straight about 1/2 mile long, just gotta hope Mr Law doesn't turn up while testing.
Only if you make some stripes of your own. Around here they seem to watch the industrial areas more than the city streets because they seem to attract "street racers". Of course they closed down most of the drag strips in So Cal, so they have lots of watching to do.
