The final step

I don't. I usually make locking locater tabs in the body hidden away somewhere. I don't even glue wind shields/glass assemblys(if 1 piece). I glue glass only on convertibles.

I admit the I am one that has glued all my bodies on. I can see me changing the way I do things so I am prepared for the WHAT IF scenario

I don't like relying on glue to hold it together so I add whatever it takes so the body snaps in place. I also hate on some kits when snapped in place the chassis hangs below the body work. I have a cure for that, I add a lip of styrene along the bottom of the rocker panel that catches and holds the chassis in place. Also any time you have to glue something together there is a risk of getting glue on a finished part. If any of you ever build the TOYOTA GT-ONE I have a really neat way to hold that body on without glue.

I haven't glued any of the bodies to the chassis. I figure if it holds together without glue, why glue it? This way if you need to take the top off for some reason it is really easy, and putting the body on is real easy.

I'd never even considered gluing the body down, but then I've only ever built Tamiya kits that seem to hold together perectly well. Maybe it's different for Fujimi, Revell, etc ...
