Jerry, I'm surprised California even let you register an M-151. It's a second cousin to the "unsafe at any speed" Corvair that Ralph Nader went on about with the independent front and rear suspension. The Army said that you weren't supposed to make any turn over 20 MPH in one of those. The bonded title up here in Alaska won't work for titling a project vehicle. It has to be completely road legal before they'll even consider it. And there's maybe 1 or 2 Appraisers that the State will accept.
