The problem with making a low-tech car is that a lot of high tech stuff is mandatory for the car to be road legal.

In most US states, if you're willing to build it yourself, you have a lot more leeway. It was part of the formula that allowed Local Motors to exist (sadly they aren't around now).

YMMV of course, but worth checking into if you have the mechanical and welding skills.
