Kinda makes me LOL thinking about DOT compliance. How many other things on our stovebolts would DOT, EPA, OSHA, NTSB, and others like to shut us down for. On a more serious note, I recently read an alarming article in a hot rod magazine. There are many bureaucrats who are working to regulate the old car hobby out of existence, forbidding any modifications of any kind. It's worth doing a little research on, and being aware of.... Just sayin'
