At this juncture it is important to contact members of the Transportation Committee and voice your support. Once we get approval by the committee it then becomes important to contact your representative for your district and request their support when the bill is heard in the full house.

The tact to take is that we would like to see these vehicles registered and held to the standards of the vehicle they intend to recreate.

If it is a '34 Ford then the standards are safety and no emissions (over 25 years)

If it is a '65 Cobra then the standards are safety and no emissions (over 25 years)

If it is a replica of a 1990 Lambo then the standard should be safety and emissions based on 1990 standards.

The concept to stress here is that the architecture of the original would not support all advancements made to vehicles since its creation without a significant investment and the loss of the original intent. This hurts the hobbyists and the preservation of automotive history.
