Don't street rods in Australian get
special treatment for registration? You guys should get the RTA guys to roll the street rod date up from 1949 to 1965. According to
THIS PDF, the 1949 rule was established around 1982 when a 1949 car was 33 years old. Since the Cobra design is pushing 50 years old, maybe the RTA guys would consider it.
Nobody would have ever thought the California SB100 rule would ever work, but it has. Us guys in America don't know how great we have it.
