The construction / fabrication QUALITY is the same - always has been superior. What has changed is some of the subtle design aspects that Bob Putnam could detail for you - between the "old" bodies and the "new" ones from #7xx on. I believe Bob's comment was that they wanted to take the 427 body / visual features to the same degree of compatibilty to the original as they had done with the 289 FIA car. The 289 is a visual clone of the original - body, engine compartment details, trunk, passenger compartment, gas tank layout - battery in the tire well.
