David and Turk,
Thanks for your input, and I will wait to hear DVs thoughts. I don't know a whole lot about the NSRA, but I think some of the reasons we're doing this seperately is:

Cobras are different than street rods. Their list of 23 probably wouldn't work for Cobras

Would they even welcome us? Cobras right now have a bad reputation in the insurance industry. The idea here is to change that. I don't know right now they would want us involved.

Not riding the coattails of the NSRA. We're not necessarily trying to re-invent the wheel, and I suppose we could use the NSRA as a model for our group, but we're trying to establish our own identity and our own voice.

No, our group won't have a recognized name at the start, but neither did the NSRA. We have to start somewhere.


David, who do you work for? Are you a "re-inspector/appraiser"?

I want DVs input on this too, but I see nothing wrong with our inspectors being the same people who can also do NSRA inspections (after all, they're probably damn good builders), but we should establish a seperate identity.
