klayfish & others;


As some of you know,I"m in the auto claims industry myself. My primary job is inspecting damaged autos and writing repair estimates. I also do some fraud investigations and some investigations when we have fatalities. Also, I have to determine if an auto is "safe" to drive after an accident before it is repaired,so I do a safety inspection on it after the collision.....

I whole heartly agree with the ideas brought forth by klayfish and others of having some sort of inspection process for these cars. I am also familiar with the NSRA rules and inspection as we have a number of 1930's street rods around here and most if not all have the NSRA safety inspection decal on the windshield.....

Just a thought,will the NSRA inspect Cobras or kit cars???? If they would that would also be a big plus to show the insurance industry!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I talked to one guy here that builds and owns street rods and goes thru the NSRA and has told me he has had nothing but good luck with his insurance company when having to make a claim (twice in 10 years) on his street rods..Both times someone backed into his car while it was parked and unoccupied and the culprit left the scene without leaving a note or anything to identify himself..

Again,just a thought,but if NSRA would inspect these cars that would only be a plus for the owners.....
