Bucket style Body-Pros & Cons

[DaveR]

I'm using the term bucket style to mean continuous in the cockpit area like Lonestar. I'm close to buying a B&B but now I'm wondering if thier style of body without integrated cockpit would result in more body flex which might mean stress fractures and door fitment change over time. I really like the double welded cowl hoop on the B&B because of the rigidity and side impact safety it provides, but of course, this eliminates the possibility of an integrated cockpit.
