subtle differences
Boy theres a piece of meat to chew on. To the "newbie eye" heck virtually ALL replicas look the same. From FFR to Kirkham, but of course the difference between a Kirkham and an FFR are anything but subtle when you look even a little bit closer. Vastly different when you look with a trained eye (night and day).

Which then begs the question: How subtle IS the difference between an SPF and a Hi Tech built Shelby?

Well now THAT question is a piece of meat the size of a freakin' dinosaur. Got an hour, or three?

Only Mr. Becker knows what his definition of the "quagmire" is. I can only guess that CSX cars built by Hi Tech might have bad mojo because they share the same ground as SPFs.

Actually, the quagmire was first mentioned by Stephen Becker, the CSX dealer. The only thing I thing I can think of, besides the licensing issue or non-issue, depending on your point of view, is what Doug mentions above.

What might help the OP (and others) is a clear and concise list of the differences between the glass CSX and the SPF. Forget the "Shelby," "real or not" stuff, just mechanical differences, maybe just concentrating on the stuff you can see from the outside.
