Default Help: Cutting an RC4WD Blazer

Apologies in advance, I'm sure this has been discussed several times but my search function isn't working right now.

I want to cut my Blazer in half and add a second row of doors to make a Suburban. I've already found a 3D file to add the new doors between the two halves.

I was wondering if anyone makes a 3D printed jig to help make a straight cut? (I've seen them for other pick-up bodies) Any advice for making a jig or the straight cuts w\o a jig would be appreciated as well.

I would prefer a reusable jig as I plan to buy and cut more Blazer bodies in the future.

Use fishing string (braided) to cut, blue painters tape for your lines. Flush cut saw works too+ straight cuts. Slow and steady wins the race.

I might have to give that a try. I talked to my dad about it, who used to work on model cars, he recommended using stitching thread.

I read elsewhere on here "braided fishing line". I'm just afraid of making a sloppy cut. Is the thread/fishing line really that accurate? Assuming you keep it tight?
