I concur Rob. As I have stated many times before, especially to those outside of the mv hobby, ours is a special niche...
When you consider the pricing for antique auto parts nearing 50 plus years you can see what a real value parts are in our hobby. Just go to an automotive swap meet and check the prices for 60's and 70's muscle car parts or early 50's Chevy, or older stuff even. When I compare an original fender from a 1960's M38A1 to a fender from a 1960's pickup there is no comparison. Granted, the muscle is worth a whole lot more but for grease monkeys and old vehicle enthusiasts, I still believe our hobby is relatively inexpensive.
