Good news for all you Razorback replica owners from today's SEMA newsletter:

SEMA-MODEL STREET ROD/CUSTOM VEHICLE BILL ON THE MOVE IN ARKANSAS

SEMA model legislation to amend the vehicle titling and registration classification for street rods and create a classification for custom vehicles was approved by the full Arkansas House of Representatives. The bill will be considered by the Senate Transportation Committee on March 14. The bill (H.B. 1453) defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. Under the bill, kit cars and replica vehicles will be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model-year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble. The bill mirrors model legislation created by SEMA and recently enacted in Illinois, Missouri, Rhode Island, Montana, Hawaii, Maine and Colorado.
