Winter time model building thread.

It's just so much fun to cut things and put them how ya like don't ya think???
Here you go! I've just widened the rear of the body from the middle of the doors back. I cut the original 1/4 panels of as narrow as possible then cut the donor 1/4 as wide as possible to give me some extra width. I had to cut the doors out about half way as well then slice the new panels slightly so I could bend them in to match the original body. By cutting the doors the way I did it always a smooth tapered flow between the 2 different width's. The total gain in width is 1/8" on each side plus I've also sanded the inside of the 1/4's down for even more clearance (the body mold is very thick on this). I now of course have to widen everything else that go with the body (tail light panel, bumper. floor pan, etc.), but by cutting it the way I did the interior with is unchanged as I left top portion of the original doors in place.
