Hi Richard,
In all fairness I must concur with your view that everyone has a different opinion on what is a "correct" or "classic" body style. In fact, ironically, I must admit that after reviewing all of the different profile examples on ERA's site, I didn't like any of them.

For whatever it's worth, I happen to be partial to styling that falls somewhere between the now defunct Johnex and Excalibur.
Out of curiosity I posted a poll to determine if JBL's current roadster styling is hurting its sales. Although this poll disregards price discrepancies between the different manufacturers, the results should be interesting.
I was wondering, if in the future a third party (maybe me) was willing to develop a classic style body for your current chassis would JBL be open to the idea and be willing to work with them to that end? If so, I would like to post an example of what I had in mind.
