Is the FFR hot rod a replica of a pre 49 model? If not then that's the reason but if it is it seems the WA road group is taking a bit of a different stand.

This whole area is currently under scrutiny maybe this is driving WA's direction.

I got the info from ASRF technical advisory commitee rep in WA. I hope he is wrong because the FFR kit looked pretty good. The kit I saw had a modern chassis.

The national guidelines can be downloaded from the ASRF website. Below is part of the definition of a street rod from the national guidelines.

“A Street Rod shall mean a vehicle that has a body and frame that were built before 1949, that has been modified for safe road use, or a replica of a vehicle the body and frame of which were built before 1949.”
