You and me both Roger, I'm not crying about it trust me, I am building a somewhat nostalgia looking build but still won't attend those shows, as far as I am concerned if it wasn't built previous to 1965 its mearly the same a repro, no matter what they use in it. Ask any older builder if they knew about billet back then would they have used it?? Its hard for me to see the mid 70's small block in a rat rod and listen to them say its nostalgic...
