Get the models right. The CSX1000 series 427 Cobras are built in Britian using some of the old AC stuff (exact lineage debatable). I saw to alloy cars side by side - one was a CSX1000 car body (no frame) and the other was a CSX4xxx roller from the Polish air craft factory (argue whether it's Kirkham, same as arguing that a HiTech manufactured fiberglass car is "just a Superformance). Bottom line is that the CSX1000 metal was incredible, and much softer, than the modern version. However, once painted, you can't tell the difference.
