Hello! This is an urgent bulletin for all California residents and Goodguys members who own, appreciate or who are building a rod, custom or classic car. We all need to act now in support of Assembly Bill 1740, a bill which would delete the current 500 ‘kit-car’ limit on the number of specialty constructed vehicles that can be registered in the state on an annual basis. AB-1740 would delete this limit, and instead require the Department of Motor Vehicles to register any car that meets specified criteria. This is the biggest and most important issue to come down the pike in years in the Golden State for rod & custom guys & gals and we urge you to write letters, make phone calls and send e-mails to members of the Assembly Transportation Committee to pass Assembly Bill 1740.

AB 1740 will be heard in the Assembly Transportation Committee on Monday, March 22, at 1 PM, in Sacramento, CA.  Please note that the “official” deadline for having your support registered in the official committee analysis is Tuesday, March 16. All communications should be received by the Assembly Transportation Committee at that time. It is recommended by AB-1740 creator, assemblyman and lifelong classic car lover  Kevin Jeffries (son of legendary customizer Dean Jeffries) that you focus the majority of your energy in trying to persuade the Democratic assembly members to support AB-1740 as he feels most Republican assembly members favor the bill.

Three Ways to Act that are quick and painless!
1. Phone 'em! This is the easiest and quickest option. You simply call the Assemblyman or woman's office and say "I'm calling to support AB 1740." The secretary will record your name and your hometown while officially recording you as a supporter of the bill and that's all! No political debates, no confusion and it takes 10 seconds!
2. E-mail 'em! Send a quick e-mail announcing your support of AB 1740. Keep it simple. Make sure to include your name and hometown in the e-mail
3. Fax 'em! Send a fax to the Assemblyman or woman's office simply stating that you support AB 1740. Include your name, your hometown and that should do it!

Here is the assembly roster which includes mailing addresses, phone numbers and e-mails! Tell them why you support AB-1740 and why it is so important to remove the restrictive “500 car” limit!
