This is an interesting thread.

It was my understanding that, for the CSX4000/6000 continuation series Cobras, Shelby Autos was producing original-style, round-tube chassis frames using tooling that was made by Mike McCluskey for the so-called "completion cars," and that the aluminum, fibreglass and carbon-fibre bodies were sourced from third-party vendors (i.e., Kirkham, Hi-Tech, HST and so on).

So my question is: Is Hi-Tech Automotive supplying Shelby Autos with fibreglass bodies only? Or are they producing a rolling chassis, similar to the Superformance cars? Do the new CSX4000/6000s use the original round-tube frames, or are they using the same square-tube chassis as the SPF cars?

I don't think this was made clear in the other posts.
