Just want to double check with the resin pros. I know resin is not as forgiving as plastic, or so it seems. Is it possible to open the doors on these things or should I leave them alone?

Resin is more brittle than plastic, but I have carefuly opened hoods with great results. Never tryed doors but can't see that being much differant.

I have done it . Infact , I tried it on one of Ray Parsons . (QUALITY Examples ), that's R & R to those of you in Rio Linda . I used a #11 blade . I was careful and there was enough of a surround to work off of . By that, the cab was strong enough at the rocker and the hinge points to warrant doing so .

Hm, well I may try it then. I'm wanting to detail this thing out and hoped to open both the front and back door but if it's not that strong I will dismiss that.

As resin are more brittle, it also allow thinning better then styrene. You could shave some resinpanels down so You could see through, and as long as it doesn't are stored to warm, it will not warp.

Of course You might have very thin styrene panels as well, but they are more likely to loose their shape, and need more support to stay as You wish them.
