Todd,

You are confused as to legal registration of replicas in California.  You cannot legally register a replica as a 19-- VW, since the vehicle no longer resembles the donor car.  The only legal means of registration in CA is to use the SPCN process, which allows you to register the car as the year it represents by body style: 56, 57, etc.  Then the car is smog-exempt for now and future registration .  There are lots of threads on this site that explain the process.  You can also find out additional info by Googling: CA SPCN registration or some variation.
