No one said it was going to be easy Merv, but the concept really is no different to quality management systems employed by government departments, Corporations and educational institutions.

But ... it has already been done by the hot rod guys and could be copied to some degree . We were even put in touch with one of the engineers who helped guide the hot rod guys in their implementation of their system adopted federally. Resident in Queensland no less.

The term "Hot Rod" covers a huge range of car types.

I think we also need to understand that many of the "Standards" currently in place were developed by the industries they represent. Cruising the highway last night I was passed by one of those 3 wheel trikes. Cool looking 3 seater thing, polished VW sticking out the back, huge set back (caster?) on the front forks. They are registrable and the standards were very much developed by the "industry".

We, on the other hand, want a car that is different but it would appear not interested in defining the standards those cars deserve to maintain their individuality.
