CSX vs. Superformance Body Mold

[twobjshelbys]

Wait a second. There wasn't ONE original. The were "splashed" from different originals. Which ones is all described here somewhere. The reason the CSX and SPFs vary is the originals varied. Hand formed aluminum can never be 100% replicated so there will be variances between instances, plus the originals were evolving. The differences will be subtle. Think of them as "sisters", but not "twins".

Do not agree, the SPF body is not even close to the CSX, Im not saying its a bad thing, but its different. As some one else said here the original cars varied in the overall exact dimensions but were fairly consistent in shape/stance.

The main difference That is obvious is the 4" round chassis vs. the rectangular chassis on the SPF / ERA. In terms of body what stands out for me is the snout, the SPF snout is smaller that the ERA/CSX, I mention ERA because the ERA 427 body was molded from Peter P. Original car. The rear fenders are the main difference for me. The rear fenders of the ERA/CSX/KMP to me are the most beautiful part of the car. I will try to post the ERA next to the SPF next to the shelby (CSX)
Car on the left is my ERA (sold) the car in the middle is Scott Beals SPF, The car on the right is Mike Bartletts CSX car.
