My body is bonded to the chassis as that is how Warwick supplies his kits . I to had to toss up the pros and cons of each way before making my decision as to which way i wanted to go.
The main reason i chose bonded was the fact that once all your doors etc are on and lined up the body wont move around on the chasis and alter all your gaps . If it was a reliable way to fix a body to the chasis you would think that major car manufacturers would be doing it aswell.
I would say the car would be alot more rigid aswell with the body bonded on ,Maybe thats why his cars done so well at nationals ,Cause we all no the stiffer the car the better it handles.

But that said i love looking through others galleries and seeing there pics of the cars with do body on and when im lying on my back under my car the first thing i curse about is not being able to take the body off .

Once the car is done though how often would you take the body off ? And there isnt that much that needs to be done under neath anyway.
