Jdog, the bodies come from Poland attached to the chassis. The bodies and chassis are one unit because the aluminum skin is actually wrapped around many parts of the birdcage. It's not a fun job to remove/replace an alloy body.

The CSX glass cars do NOT have the same birdcage setup as the alloy cars. They are different because the glass body bolts onto the frame, so the attachement points are different.

To put an alloy body on a glass car, is a major undertaking. In all honesty, you'd be better off just buying the entire body/chassis and then swapping all your other parts over to it.

Just my 2 cents, maybe David will chime in.
