Jamvan,

The CSX1000 vehicles will have no affect on the CSX4000 aluminum car buyers in the form of the product or waiting period. We will continue to purchase the Kirkham body / frame assemblies and build out the CSX4000 vehicles just as we have for the past four years.

I apologize that we were not able to inform the customer base in advance of the press release, it is not standard practice in the industry but I certainly understand your point and concern.

Please e-mail me directly so we can set up a specific time to discuss the issue in the morning if you would like.

Mark IV,

I understand completely, no hostility here.

As for the 1000 hour issue, the hand formed body of an AC / Kimmins/ Metal Crafters or any other quality builder aluminum body costs a lot more than $10,000. The 1000 hours was not just the forming time of the panels but also includes welding, body wrap of the cockpit, door, hood and trunk closeout and the skinning of the doors, hood and trunk. An experienced craftsman would not be able to shave a lot of time off the 1000 hours but if you know the shortcuts I would certainly like to sit down to discuss.
