The Poor Boys CC has been credited with the resurgence of home built/low buck traditional hot rods and customs as a result of creating and producing these notable shows: Billet Proof (East Bay chapter), Billet Proof Detroit (Detroit chapter), and Midnight Mass (Sacramento chapter). The Sacramento Poor Boys chapter had a few challenging years. Initially they were not accepted into the mainstream hot rod community. Shunned and disregarded for their traditional home built cars, lifestyle and values, they were not welcomed or even allowed to attend some of the shows. Over time they've built a good reputation and friendships and have slowly gained respect and recognition from the mainstream hot rod community. The Sacramento Poor Boys credit the Sacramento Autorama for supporting their growth
