KMS supplies aluminum bodied cars to SAI (originally they supplied just the frame and body, now it seems KMS supplies complete rollers to SAI and at least some of them have billet aluminum suspensions too). KMS is not the only supplier of aluminum bodied cars to SAI. CSX1000 series have been sourced from 2 or maybe even 3 suppliers in England. Early aluminum bodies were also sourced from Kimmons.
Fiberglass cars from SAI were originally built in house, and later supplied as rollers from both Mexico and South Africa. Now they are only sourced from South Africa from the parent company that also makes SPF, but the cars sourced from South Africa are to Shelby specifications (like round tube frames versus square tube frames of the SPF).
