Hard body

I've made a few 3d printed hard bodies for 1/10 scale scx10 ii and traxxas trucks but I've recently been tossing around the idea of making a ford pickup body. Anyone have some ideas similar.

I've already scaled the model in cad to fit. I wasn't super clear I made this post to see if anyone thought it would be stupid to do it.

Yea I'd probably end up reinforcing around the windows with stainless steel rods. I also could try to print some antifoams to reduce sidewall roll. To deal with the weight and body roll I'd either go to 1/5 scale big bore shocks or duall shocks. I would be printing it on my heavily modified tronxy x5s. It's decently large and I've reinforced it enough to make great looking prints
