@Danno - I had a rules question, wondering if you can help...

The rules state that you need turn signals, windshield wipers, mufflers etc. etc. in the street rod class (indeed, in all the "street legal" classes).  Is that correct, and enforced? 

Want to make sure my build qualifies properly!  Thank you!

True, Jim. 

Categories designated as 'must be street legal' require at least lights, glass, wipers, mufflers, seat belts (for open cars), treaded tires, and license plates.

We require a photo image of the rear of the vehicle to allow confirmation of the license plate (must represent an actual MVD registration plate - "Mooneyes" plates, etc., don't cut it).

In the event an entry doesn't have the minimal 'street legal' equipment, we can/will move it to another appropriate category that doesn't specify 'street legal' - if one is available. 

Our experience has been that many builders produce killer, highly detailed factory stock or street machine or pickup models (just a couple of examples) but don't bother to attach a license plate to the bumper! 

FYI - Often times, the 'street legal' details make all the difference between the nice entries and THE WINNER! 

Can't say I've ever seen a 1:1 car on the street with a chrome-plated "1969" on its rear bumper, but some of the otherwise exquisite models entered in contests would have you think so.  

 

BTW, we also have a 'catch-all' category for anyone who doesn't want to bother with details.  It's called "Curbside."  We don't judge interiors, undercarriages, engine compartments, etc. We only look at what you might see of a 1:1 as you walk past it while it is parked at the curb. Hence, the name of the category.

 

I hope this answers your questions or helps with clarifications. Don't hesitate to ask or contact us if any questions remain.

There’s some GREAT entries - spent an hour or so this evening going through them all (at least, the ones that have been posted already).  So much eye candy!

Judging is happening. 

We had planned/hoped to be finished by 07/01/2021, but it has been pushed back to 05/15/2021 due to a few unforeseen situations.

For now, enjoy perusing the Entries, root for your favorites, and stand by!

Thanks,
