Not really.
This is already in effect in a de facto way. The specialty builders tend to grab cars from pre-1973(I think) since they are grandfathered in and don't have to pass safety, emission, crash, etc.
I suspect that many builders might be able to pass some of these regulations, but the need to be "grandfathered" stops a lot of the possibilities.
It will be interesting to see if some form of "standard" chassis emerges that actually can pass the regulations.
