Hard to tell in pictures sometimes. The picture is actually an Astin Martin...
Oh gosh, Marcus is being polite. And here I was just plain snarky when I said you might be better off registering it as an Aston Martin.

Probably so. My MAX gets identified as any 20th Century two-seater you can think of. I'm amazed at the names people pull out of the air.

This body, and the Porsche 904 for more modern, seem like examples of styles that would make registering as a replica easier
And that's why I haven't made a body like the one in my avatar--it has a pre-EPA flavor and feel to it, but doesn't resemble any specific car, so it'd be registered as a 2016 something-or-another with all the 2016 equipment responsibilities. I heartily recommend making your car look like -something- from The Day rather than -anything- from The Day.
On the subject of footwell space, I agree with you all that it's worth doing a chassis redesign if you're going full body. The Se7en taper is a pain in the ...feet.
