[REAL 1]

Very interesting. However, like some said I'll wait to see cars coming in before I believe it.

Jim price as I understand owns the tooling and jigs. He closed the plant in Frimely the minute he thought Lubinsky was cozying up to CS based on his previous deal with AC.

How does AC build the frames and bodies without the bucks, tooling or jigs unless they are making new ones.

How do 10 guys produce 50 bodies and chasis by hand in a year and produce a quality product at a competitive price? Something is not adding up here.

What does "partially building in the UK" mean? I wouldn't be surprised if they end up shipping Kirkham bodies and Chasis through the mysterious Malta plant for an "AC" stamping then to SAI.

Oh yeah. I also find it suspicious that a similar press release discussing this new developement hasn't been made by SAI. Why? Hmmm.

I also agree with Cal that Kirkham makes a quality product second to none. I don't see where an AC supplied body and chasis will affect the value of the current aluminum CSXs unless they are offered at the same price and availability off of the original jigs, bucks and tooling. That would be impossible to do IMHO for many reasons Jim Price being the first of many.

Any AC supplied body and chasis will be considerably more expensive to produce and buy than a KMP counterpart simply because of the manufacturing abilities and process. I don't believe an AC supplied body and chasis could be offered for sale in anywhere near the range of the current CSX aluminum rollers.
