Jeff, although I haven't done business directly with Backdraft, I can understand where you're coming from on this sort of thing and how it sort of sours the experience. I'll share this, for what it's worth...

I built my first car, an FFR, back in around 2005. Because of that car, I've made many lifelong friends - some who no longer own a cobra. As a group, our interests turned to the track / racing side of things and 5 of us do track days in our own track cars, and race together in ChumpCar in a Miata. I'm sure many others around here have similar experiences in terms of friendships that have developed as a result of these cars. I guess what I'm saying is try not to let some ham-handed stuff from BDR mess up what will likely be a great experience for you. It would get under my skin too, for sure.

Have fun.
