I just read a post from Spaz saying he was pulled over by a CHP of the "this car isn't street legal" mind. Right now I just have my insurance card and my temporary registration. Should I keep copies of everything? What about copies of the vehicle code proving we don't need bumpers/windshield/etc?
What do you guys keep? What has come in handy?

?
I'll feel much more comfortable once I have plates on it, but that won't be for another month or so.

Re: CA guys: What paperwork do you carry with you?
Before you have plates, you should have ALL of your paperwork with you at all times.
(Put them inside a FedEx letter package, and put that package inside a large zip-lock bag to keep everything dry.)
(Might be an idea to tape these to the tub behind the seats.)
(Make sure you have a copy of any documents you put in the car; you do not want to loose these.)
Afterwards, you are only required to carry Registration (or a copy of it) and proof of insurance.
However, also carrying CHP892 & CHP 885 is not a bad idea.
Also, print out CA Vehicle Code # 34710, 28071, 26700 & 26706.
Then get a FED EX clear envelope (designed to hold shipping labels onto the outside of their boxes.)
They are sticky on one side (the entire side), clear on both side, and have a zip-lock clasp.
They are easy to stick to the bulkhead (or tub) behind the seats, and hold all of your documents. They are also pretty weather proof.
