Of course it's registered. Every car I own and have built have been made with that rule in mind. I build a car to drive them. It's fuel injected and would fire up in the dead of winter. You could safely drive it anywhere.

I agree. Especially when the person saying they are a good experienced driver has never even raced a car before let alone built one. That's the comedy gold of this thread.
As far as tools, you must not really "build" cars or you know you'd need them. Many parts take special tools just to dissasemble. Take fuel lines, power sterring pump pullies, A/C lines. Let alone when you get into setting up the rear end with a pinion depth guage. Then there's the torque required to get the crush sleeve started (around 850 ft lbs). Tools from Walmart aren't going to do it. I have a top and bottom box that only has transmission specialty tools in it to give you an idea. Again, another car component your not going to be able to build properly without. At the very least you'll need a press for a manual and at the very least you'll need piston lip seal installers, a very good dial indicator, and a very good set of micrometers just to even think about building one. That's the bare minimum.
I do understand the people that have their stuff sent out too, (engine, car for paint etc.) then their only task is bolting it in. But trust me in saying when you actually build a car, you're not going to do it with cheap junk you bought at a hardware store.
