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.

My HST-built carbon fiber (CSX4005LA) has a round tube frame.
