The original spyders are quite pretty and look nothing like the replica in Kit Car. They did use the same tub but Eric's idea that one could switch back and forth was a bit of a pipe dream. When I was young and crazy I used to drive my original spyder on the street. Driving along at 2am in an ex Donohue Can Am car on the highways of NY is not something you ever forget. I even once took it into Manhatten over the Verranzano Bridge through NJ. and back home. I'm not sure many have done that.
