I think the hobby will always be around.

But, it probably will change some, as old cars, very old cars, and steam stuff did.

It will take hobbyists with more money to 'play'

The scrap metal boom will hurt our hobby the most. Cheap used parts, and 'projects' are disappearing into the melt pot.

So, again, it will take more money for what's left.

Actually as people who like to wrench age, tractors are very appealing. I used to be mostly into go fast cars, but age will get your back talking to you leaning over a fender all day.

And having the undercarriage laying on your chest loses it's appeal.( a lot of tractor work can be done sitting in a chair )

Drag strips are too expensive on a fixed income, and jumping thru all the paperwork hoops to just run a hobby car around the block, gets tiresome.

So, there will always be a few ancient tractors here, even when the day comes when I have to build a ramp to get up on them.
