We all saw this happen with the NSRA. Complaints and threats to stop coming to their shows were common. But in reality it kept them alive. Car shows with a pre 48 cut off were dying. Most young guys can't afford a street rod, that's if you can even find a buildable one! Yeah, I know that no one wants to see a stock 1980 Pinto or gremlin or whatever, but it does open up some great looking rides like 55-57 chevys, Z28's and many others that didn't have the opportunity to come to these shows. The only drawback that I see are the ones who purchase a brand new car or truck off the lot and bring them to a show!...Not my cup of tea!...CR
