That is wrong. They receive completed, painted rolling cars from HST and HiTech.
And you cannot really separate the body and frame on the aluminum cars. The Kirkham-sourced ones were frame and body and other various parts, but short of a roller. Suspension, etc. was completed by SA

Do the new CSX4000/6000s use the original round-tube frames, or are they using the same square-tube chassis as the SPF cars?

They use the round-tube frame, built to SA specs |
