The other reason for a separate body was ...that I could have the chassis (after mods) blasted and painted silver to my taste. I put the wiring through the chassis. The body would be a "plug-and-play" set up. I heard that there may have been a replica porsche body available to fit on the chassis. Imagine a porsche with knock-off halibrands and side pipes. ha ha . I have fitted and removed the body several times to make adjustments and modifications to both chassis and bodywork. I couldn't imagine doing all of those "adjustments" with a bonded body.
I've worked on a bonded body DRB and the only difference is. . .you have to be a contortionist and have a good set of tall jack-stands!

I'm building an RMC at the moment and I couldn't agree more.
Rob's spot on in everything he says.
