My kit comes with a bolted on body that is like a tub.
The complete body, footboxes, inner guard panels, firewall, rear cockpit panel are all bonded together in one piece that can be lifted straight off the chassis.
I personally feel this is more convenient when building as the chassis and drivetrain is very easily accessed.
The body can still be removed with the engine in and I am planing to use quick connector for fuel and wireing so that once the car is complete it is still fairly easy to remove the body.

The chassis as supplied with my kit is very stiff and I dont think the body being bonded on would make it any stiffer.(for want of a better word)

Plus it looks damn good with the driveline done and no body
