This idea pinged a long time in my head around. Tim`s and Martin`s "Built`s in progress", have inspired me to finally implement this. Lower and upper part of the body is glued, the green lines are cut-lines:    And go! CUTTING!  Separated:  And together again, the green has yet to be removed:   This now looks like this:  Hope, you like it so far. |

Thank you! The current rear wall must go.  So I can better adjust the interior.  Here is a reinforcement of the side wall.  The same from the inside, the "column" is filled with Putty.  The "line" (the connection between the upper and the lower part) disrupts the whole side view. I replace it with a "curved line". (The green dotted line)  |

AHhh.... the green dotted line. I was wondering what you were going to do about that straight line.
Are you going to be rounding out the cab some more? Are you planning on filling in the top and rear back holes? Are you going to re-use the original rear-door?
I'm also curious as to what you're going o do for the rear suspension and rear-end.
I guess time will tell.

Thanks! I changed the "Roof line" a little.  Here is the plate for the new roof, it`s from polystirol, carved and curved.   The whole glue together  And it holds  As already mentioned, the old "line" is now removed...  ... and putty filled.  Then again it means sanding, sanding, sanding...  |

Thank you! Dj: I don`t know exactly what you mean, a good eye and a steady hand? The whole is coarsely sandet and here I formed the new side line.    The whole is coarsely sandet again and the holes on the bottom side, closed. The new engine don`t needed them.  |

Thank you very much! For the new design of the sub-soil, had a part of the old soil to be removed.  This is the new sub-soil (the most important, crucial part of it)  On the back end, I assembled a old "pickup- Dump" (I found it in one of my parts- boxes )  Here is a part of the interior rear wall  And so is the secret revealed, in what direction it leads.  Any questions? Comments are welcome! |
