I sold my 92 FHP car because I went to a show where there were seven other marked FHP cars. I did not like being one in a crowd of identical cars. Kinda like going to an MCA show and parking your green Bullitt in line with 45 other green bullitts. Doesn't do anything for me.
You attend shows in Florida but are concerned about the state's laws regarding your car, yet you live in Alabama and want to build an Alabama car?? Seems to me that is just moving the same problem across the state line to where you live. The fact it needs an entire new interior, paint, and lots - o - work is irrelevant because you will do that when creating a fake Alabama car anyway.
Tribute cars are commonly referred to as clone cars which are commonly referred to as clown cars. Regardless of what others may say (in an effort to be politically correct) clown cars are generally looked down upon by enthusiasts that have made the effort to restore an SSP back to correct Agency/conditions etc.
The car isn't an Alabama car. If you want an Alabama car you should find one to restore. FHP cars are a dime a dozen, so I understand why you want something different. But clowning the car is a huge mistake in my opinion.
