If they ARE actually doing a "body swap", they'd have to unwrap an alloy body from a chassis, cut the birdcage off their chassis, then fit it to your CSX chassis, and then reattach the body. It would probably be cheaper to just buy a bare alloy body/frame from them and swap your parts.

I think this has been done before without requiring a "bird cage" swap, just a "body swap". Like I said earlier, there was a Kirkham frame and a Shelby fiberglass body for sale a year or two ago. They were apparently left over from putting the Kirkham body on the Shelby car. |
