That's my plan. Destroy this body and use my clear one when I get everything figured out.

Decided to change things up. Had a cherokee body sittin around and threw it on the gen8... bodies are 100% interchangeable with 0 hassle

Decided a different route. Used styrene to make a rear window and bedcover for the scout truck.

I thought about it, but the clearance on the gen8 chassis would require modifications to allow for the scale drop bed. So im going with the approach of a covered bed. Not to mention, this is my first custom body.. so im still learning
