The cutting begins..... Cuts need to be cleaned up but good nuff Here the initial mock up to get an idea how big this beast will be I don't think this stretched axial chassis will cut it. .. Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

I'm digging the process so far. That burban is look awesome. How are you gonna join the body's? I've got some surgery to do also. But I've never done it before. Thanks Sent from my HTC Desire 626 using Tapatalk |

Here is a comparison to the k5 I did before. Next, trimmed a bit out of the cab section to make the door lines touch. . Fits together like a puzzle Now to get the inner supports welded on Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

Yes it would. I like to use plastic fusion personally. But the fumes when you mix the 2 parts together! Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

Noob has been using MEK for bonding styrene to these bodies, as well as bonding the bodies themselves together. I picked some up but havent tryed it out yet. Im guessing it would be a lot quicker then waiting for 2 parts to cure.
