Ok, here it is again: WE cannot join the NSRA unless you can prove your car was originally a PRE 1948! I have and still do work with the NSRA every chance I get. Go way back to the beginning here and you will find my first comments about this.

They did it, they do it, and so should we. Period.

How about the in the last two years at least a dozen Cobras burned to the ground because of improper fuel lines and connections. (How many of you have an EFI system, using "regular" fuel line and using one clamp between your rubber and hopefully steel lines?) Did or do you even know there are two distinct rubber fuel lines for cars? Yes, there is! The old standard gas line that works great for Carbs, but did you know EFI systems require and demand a totally different type line?

How many of you have "compression" fittings in your brake lines?By golly, I just caught one of our new employees using one in lieu of a proper fitting on a customers '34 Ford! I off course went ballistic, especially when he told me he had been doing it for years and never had a problem with his own cars! I love that excuse! I've been doing that for years, and blah,blah, blah.

The same scenario exists here. Just because we have been doing this for years does "NOT" mean we have been doing it right.

Either you do it or don't, that is up to you.
Either you support it or don't that too is up to you.
Either you get it or you don't.

People it is so simple, so logical, so easy, with only benefits and absolutely no negatives, either now or in the future, I just don't see what the problem is.

Is Blackjack the only one that gets it? It IS SAFETY people, it IS about safety. Be proud of it, don't hide it! It is our whole point!

DV...BRUCE, et. al., The Legal Definition of our cars IS - "Self ASSEMBLED," Including what most people call a streetrod.
