Default WhyJ
Not quite sure why. Just decided to start cuttin'.

Knew I wanted to stretch the wheelbase, but was unsure how I wanted to go about it.

First items to be cut off were the front fenders and the side steps. The hard top was also masked off for a possible cut. Wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to cut the hard top in half or just remove it from the main tub.

Ended up cutting the tub to stretch it and went ahead and cut the top where I had masked it earlier.

No turnin' back now!

No idea.

This thing is designing itself while I cut.

Seriously - I'm just seeing what works while I hack away.

Couldn't find the scribing tool so I cut this portion with the back side of the X-Acto.
