A "classic" style body for the JBL roadster

[Ogwasnowski]

Hi Edley,

Aluminum eh? ...hmmm. To be honest I really hadn't given that any thought up until this point. I guess it's not totally out of the question as a second optional offering in addition to a glass/Kevlar body, but I was under the impression that most of the proponents of aluminum bodies were hard core members of the "exact" Shelby replica club, and consequently would never tolerate a semi-monocoque backbone chassis like the JBL and the non-traditional interior it requires. Apparently I may have had the wrong impression. One thing is for sure, my ability to offer an aluminum body would be totally contingent upon being able to find a viable out-source for such a creature, as I have no experience whatsoever working with that material. I have a feeling that my cost for such a body would be far too high to make it worth my while to fool with. At this point I'm not even sure if I'll be offering a glass body, but we'll see how things go.


For anyone else participating in the poll who voted "No" (including those who have voted previously), I would be most interested in hearing your reasons for doing so if you are willing to share them here.

Thanks,

Derek
