Those cuts are incredibly precise for such a small body. Nice job. I can't wait to see the end result. I have to admit I'm curious to see what you do with the bed area.

I agree that is a cool looking Defender. Can't wait to see what yours is going to look like. You have a good start for sure.

Thanks! I am extremely happy with the cuts. Shouldn't take to much fill to smooth them out, if any.

I have something cool in store for the bed. I'll unveil it soon!

Thanks for following along!

Hoping to get some more work done to it this weekend. Looks like rainy days ahead, so that means more bench time!

I concur, your cuts are excellent and like your choice of modification. Kinda fun that those bodies are of the hard variety

I need to give thanks to Defender Customs on YouTube for the easy step-by-step instructions to layout and cut the body.

Next I'll get the protection cage cut to fit the modified body. Hoping to get some paint laid on it this week before the weather turns bad this weekend. More to follow later!

Looking good Mister Bond....James Bond that is! Watched that guys tutorials the other day, very good stuff.

Thanks smog! I'm glad that these are hard bodies and not lexan. Easy to modify with simple cutting tools and styrene.
