your correct they are built with fiberglass foot boxes,as were the originals from day one.The suspension is identical except some brand name differences ,The uprights are alloy instead of steel,the brakes or not girling and the center rear end housing may be of another mfg Im not sure but parts will interchange with originals. From what I can learn the cars are nearly identical except minor body assy diffrences.it drives me crazy every one has gone nuts with this thing like the cars are totally different.
My opinon they are at least equal to a well built csx4000 pallet car of a couple years ago.I am sure there are things the purist will note that I havent seen,but they are very nice cars.I had the same questions as everyone else but this is a cobra ,no doubt about it. any one who inspects one of these cars in person would have to agree.
