Thanks! Same polish I always use on aluminum, lexan and now carbon fiber, Meguiar's Ultimate. I put a healthy daub on a flat sponge polishing pad and spin with a drill. To be honest, I really could not pick up the very minor scratch remnants with the camera, but I did try. Way better than it starte...

What a great song.....

The Nintendo guys do the same to restore the plastics

Why wouldn't one make a lower CG tower and remove the lower shock mounts, thus mounting the shocks directly to the arm? You already tweaked the front.

How many times did bushed motors suck up staples from the bench or other magnetic rubbish... good times

Looks like the BOTM after voting has ended......

Not sure if I posted anything about these earlier or not but this is also something I've been working on and off for the last 10 years as well :lol: To go along with my mag wheels and stock steel wheels/hub caps I also picked up a set of Fairlane Sportsman wheels to give myself options.

I bought a new rear chassis plate and a few other goodies plus used some of my T3 stuff that I've been hoarding for the right occasion. It's not perfect but still pretty clean. If I come across better parts I'll swap em ou...

Now that would be an interesting but pointless database, all the "packed by people"

Very nice
