Yes, I see now the frame is a spider frame and the body is attached and everything hung from this light frame.

What is the cost of the brushed body and frame on the basic chassis as you mention (less suspension a Chassis body only)

Maybe one of the KM people will chime in here??
I don't know the cost for that as they sell everything together, a roller basically. I can tell you the brushed finish is a 8000 upgrade but it is something you can do yourself at home, just need a few hundred hours of sanding The bodies come from the factory "filled", meaning the aluminum panels are welded together. So you have to knock down the weld with a rasp/file, then you sand the body to give it that brushed finish.
If you want to polish it, it is another 300 hrs of work, yikes.
Maybe Dave will chime in on this one, or you can always email them.
