I am a bit concerned about an order I have with JPS Motorsports for a new replica coupe. My order has been in for over 3 months, John has quite a bit of my money already, and recently he is not responding to emails and I keep getting voice message on company phone. Has anyone heard or is aware of any problems at JPS???

Good Luck!

3 months from placing the order sure isn't much to get worried about. 3 months past promised delivery date and I'd be a little concerned - just that you may have missed the Summer driving season.
Understood, just not used to having no responses to emails or calls- they were very good up to a few weeks ago.
Steele must be using the SAS playbook.......
.........try blocking your number bet he'll pick up

If your wife is good looking, take her along. John will instantly become available, and might even have a nice conversation about your car with her breasts.
All recent posts are good ideas. Thanks. Plane trip might be the best- need to see what state the car is in.
John finally touched base this morning- seems he lost 2 key employees and is behind in both cars and communications. I am planning to fly down for a visit next week to check on status.
I'll be available come the first of the year ...maybe I'll apply for a Tech Position and fill in a void or two !
Patrick - I think you should be OK with your coupe project. John has his quirks, but I think you'll get your car. That would be good if you're able to visit his shop to physically check on the status of your car's progress and reinforce the specifications you requested.
Welcome to The Madness! 
Thanks, I will obviously feel better after seeing the progress on the car. If the picture of the black speedster is your ride, we have similar tastes- I opted for the beehive lights, bumpers without the insert strip and the Fuch style rims.

Patrick, I can just picture how bad-ass your coupe is going to look! 
Great looking car- love the louvered rear hood. Is that a Suby motor I see underneath??
No Suby. Just a 1915cc Type I VW with A-1 Sidewinder exhaust.

You need to rejoin the Collective, Gerd.

Not his anymore....he bailed out. Drives a Miata now. Not that driving a Miata is a bad thing. It's just not a Speedster!!
Robert u r right. Its not a speedster but much more dependable if u r not a gear head. But a Maserati is already in the works.

Happy wife....Happy life, huh GERD?
LOL U GOT THAT RIGHT ROBERT

Because exotic Italian cars are so much more dependable than speedsters.

Grand Sport, Quattroporte, or Ghibli?
I can see Gerd rolling in this.
Wrong colour, Marty.
Looks like a 4-door BiTurbo. I see it's where most of them spent most of their time - by the side of the road.
Now if our GERD is getting a recent one...
MARTY THAT IS THE EXACT CAR.
LANE NO IDEA CARROL HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER IN WESTLAKE. I AM ASSUMING IT WILL BE A 2016 CONVERTIBLE.
I believe that would make it a Grand Sport - gorgeous car!
$145,000+ That makes a new flat six powered IM look like a real bargain. 
ron I think the wife wants a new one

Gerd, why'd you sell this beauty?
was going to build another but then lost interest
Because you never owned an IM
