Default Lengthening a Lexan Body?

How would one lengthen a lexan body? I planned on taking two School Bus Lexan bodies and making one long one. Now how would I connect the two bodies together? Or better yet is there any place that makes larger scale bodies. I have found a few, but none I like.

I've heard of people using shoe goo. I use a scrap piece of lexan behind the butted joint, shoe goo the joint and then back it with a strip of lexan.

Not really sure how you would get rid of the cut lines and merge it back together to look right. Mike(1badjeepbruiser) was telling me about some Tamiya body putty or something like that, that he used when dovetailing his bruiser. I remember an old post where someone narrowed thier body and put it back together, I'll see if i can find the post

edit- here is one..... Anyone narrow a body?

edit again - Lexan body work

the tamiya putty is more of a filler any plastic or hobby epoxy should be fine at glueing them
