Narrowing lexan body

[Solid94]

So I have looked all over and I'm not 100% sure it's been done or doable but I want to narrow the front fenders and hood to match the dovetail cage I have on my honcho. Been fabing for a while but never did any body work. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Pictures of what your working with and trying to do would be helpful.

Sorry thought I mentioned it was lexan. It's the proline 72 Chevy body. And this blazer in 4 wheel drive is the inspiration.

Maybe cut a line from the top of the hood to the grill and start a the sme place you did with the first cut and go at an angle to the grill. You are cutting the grill not just the hood next heat up the corners to where they bend and in words. And maybe use shoo-goo or any other glue you prefer and glue it to gather you probably will need extra prices of lexan or something like that. If you need a pic go to Justin's "Exo Caged" chevy clod .

That 72 body is going to be difficult to get looking right. The angled grill, no lines on the hood, and the big lip for the hood will be fighting you the whole way. The cutting and bending part will be easy, the lexan is plenty flexible, I prefer shoo goo for glueing. You may be able to get away with extending the fenders to match the hood.

I scratched the 72 body and just used a clod body. Made the build a lot easier. I used the 72 body for a different rig
