[REAL 1]

Hal/Dan: I posted this information as I believed that many here would be interested in the information. It matters not to me personally.

My experience with HRE and Billy Andrews is that Billy is a perfectionist. Just go see some of the cars he turns out. Awesome! He was of course concerned that the SA CSX would be of the same quality that as the LV CSX's. He was anxious to see one in the "flesh".

The cars he delivers to his customers and his work are top notch. He wants to continue that. So when Billy told me the SA CSX was terrific and high quality, that to me is a tremendous endorsement. Billy is a straight shooter.

As to why aluminum has more panache' than glass. Hard to say really. But it does, no question. There is an allure and mystic to the alloy bodied Cobras. Why do alot of guys with glass cars want aluminum panels in their trunk and engine bay? So it looks like the original and gives the impression the car is aluminum. Doesn't make it "better" though except if you want a car that was just like the original series.

Both glass and aluminum have their advantages and disadvantages.
