finally finished and got through massachusetts registration on 2nd trip which was difficult. state police wanted more proof of engine and trans origin than i could provide. sue parham at southern really helped out and they finally let me through after 4 hours. had a flatbed hired at $90./hour which hurt. there were 2 other factory fives that day and the owners were better prepared because they do more business in mass and know what to expect. i can help prep future mass builders now that i know.
still a lot of debugging to do but the UNIQUE experience has been great.
