Tkom and All, The cast floor is most likely a USRA underbody and possibly a roof that was made by V & T Shops. I recently sold a built A & P car on ebay. I listed a built Santa Fe some months ago but it didn't sell as I recall both had the urethane underframe. They are a lot better then glueing a bunch of sticks together to resemble steel components!
