Re: Dutch 1955 build
how are the laws in Holland when you modify cars??-here in Norway we can do about anything with vintage cars as long as we ask first,then modify.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
its tricky over here , if you import a car you have to register it at
our dmv. at that moment the car must comply with all regulations that are set for that year car. But you're only allowed to change/customize 1/3 of the car which is devided in 3 major components 1 chassis, 2 driveline and 3 body if you will radicaly change more than one it will get tricky. then they can/will say that they cant determine anymore if the car belongs to the us title/paperwork you are providing. so best would be to first register the car as original as possible maybe only put in v8 if it still has a L6 so your title will match in the end. after you have a title you only have to comply an annual safety inspection or if your car is before 1960 it is exempt from this inspection too ![]() that doent mean you dont have to meet the regulations, but it makes live just a little easier.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Thank God for the USA!! Haha I cut my 64 frame into pieces, threw the back half away and the front 1/5 also and welded 1972 pieces on that. Plus have a 68 cab, 73 suspension, 70 bed and no one even blinks at it at the DMV hahaha. Plus the truck is registered as a 72
