Thank you all very much ! Harry, it wasn't the resin being brittle that was a problem but rather I found the body too thick in areas for the interior to fit well which then made the chassis not fit well. Dremel work solved the problems.

Resin body and interior . Had several issues building this thing . Some were of my own making I’m sure . Even though the body and interior were taken from the AMT kit there were still fit issues . I messed up the windows that I cut from sheet plastic . Painted with Tamiya Pearl Green . I used Duplicolor clear but I was out of the 1k I prefer to use but was out . Painted the roof black to break it up . Not my best work or maybe it is but I don’t want to believe that . Better luck with my next kit . I think I will pass on resin kits and or bodies going forward . Still it looks pretty good in the cabinet . Thanks for looking .
I am please my new water heater is installed and we can take hot showers again. I also was able to get my ice maker which was frozen going again with a hair dryer. Thanks to youtube,
