RC10L in progress

Post by everlast »

Here are some pics of my RC10L. I still need some parts to get her done.

I tried the boxart paintscheme on a body that barely fits the front bumper... :cry:

check out my thread. I just restored the same car. I used the smaller bumper and made some custom parts for it. You can really make that thing look like new with a little elbow grease!

Sure thing. If you want to clean up the G-10 fiberglass parts you can starts with some cleaner degreaser and a toothbrush. Then to help with some of those scratches you can sand them away with 500 grit wet sand paper. Be sure to use water! For really deep scratched areas I use 220 ans then go back with the 500 in those areas. Then I use 1000 grit, 1200 grit and finish off with 1500 grit. Always washing off the parts between each grit. Then use a large buffing wheel and some mild polish and buff to a better then new shine! The white plastic can be whitened with oxyclean and peroxide mixed together. I put the parts in a small bowl and set them under a UV light for a few hours. The longer you wait the better the results. Also you can put them in the sun. I polished all metal parts using metal polish and a lathe. And sand blasted the rear lower brace
