Rick,
If you had read the original thread from which this thread grew you would have a totally different idea about who and what JBL is about.

Your critique is WAY out of line. JBL is NOT looking to be some kind of "leader" in the business. Their replica is a "by product" of their larger business, a labor of love if you would. They sell VERY FEW units and are not looking to increase sales. 15 or so units a year!

This whole thing was never about "marketing" for JBL. It was in response to which replica manufacturer produced the best MODERN chassis. In particular Renegade chassis' have an interesting design which you could say is "similiar" to a JBL. BDR feels their car is a worthy contender for the prize.

Having opened your mouth and inserted your foot therein I think you owe it to Richard to read the other thread. JBL is a remarkable business run by remarkable and EXTREMELY talented people.

As Richard has stated he would rather spend his time with ONE customer teaching them how to drive the car than spend his time building ONE car to go to some "show".
