SPF the only licensed replica? Why is that? A license was offered to ALL the replica manufacturers, nobody signed but SPF. It was a simple business decision. Sign or continue to spend massive dollars in legal fee's defending themselves. Little more than strong arm robbery via lawyers, in my opinion.

FFR chose not to sign, and sure enough, they are once again defending themselves against yet another Shelby law suit. Will FFR "roll over", like SPF did? If so, who's next? ERA? Hurricane? Kirkham? BDR?

I acknowledge the Shelby name add's value as it concerns the market place. It's just business. As such I might choose to invest in a Shelby product, if the price was right. But I'd have to take three showers to get rid of the stink... (that applies to SPF in particular, not necessarily a genuine Shelby).
