Hi Jim
Years ago when I was a young lad, 1972, I built a street rod, 1934 Chev 4 door, which took about 3 years to build and which I still have.
When it was finished I joined a street rod club but only lasted about 1 year with the club.
The reason was that they expected me to attend every club meeting and every club outing and event without fail or they considered I was not a true enthusiast if I missed some events.
They had something on every weekend as well as some midweek things.
It was all too much.
I enjoy my 40 a great deal but it also can sit in the garage and not be touched for weeks while I do other things and sports.
Dimi
