I find it funny that the Kirkham guys are answering this. 
Thanks, though. I think this is another area of the book where the author got in over his head and faked his way out. He should have stuck to pictures and lists.

How many corrections did you make with your red pen? I guess the publisher didn't contact you to edit the book.

I gave up correcting nonessential books years ago, although I will fix grossly misstated facts so as to prevent confusion.
Most books of this type are edited lightly, if at all. A spell-check of the electronic ms file and a read-through by a junior editor is about all it gets.
The book would have been far better had a real editor been involved early on to steer the author into a more consistent, fact-driven and less folksy style.

DougD,,,,,,,I can only speak about CSX47XX, Mexico built. I completly dismantled to bare frame. only bolted bird cage or main frame parts were as I stated in earlier post. I don't doubt that CSX4068 is as you discribe, like the current south africa cars are most likley different as well. I said bodies were rivited. Original post said "bonded".
The CSX I bought did make a good parts car for my Kirkham 427......Ron

I have heard that these cars have a number of changes between the glass and ally frames. Rear clip is different, both discrete tubing under dash and cowl are differnt so the one part body can slide into place.
As stated, probably differs between generation of car and country of origin?
