The newer kits (post 731) are put together differently, since the old fiberglass inner panels are replaced by individual aluminum sections. No fiberglassing any more but lots more riveting. In addition, the rocker wraps around (and is bonded to) a chassis tube. Different. Easier in some ways, more difficult in others.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that the "bonded body" option also includes drilling, riveting and sealing all the aluminum panels. A not inconsiderable job.
