Speaking of holes . Here is one of the chassis that was in those boxes I got from my neighbor . Same load of stuff I got those sprint chassis with . Unfortunately whoever this used to belong to they seemed to like an ugly brownish tan as they painted the bottom of the chassis with it

That actually doesn't look that bad. Cut, sure, but is the structural integrity compromised significantly? (unlike so many of the other examples)

But wouldn't a couple cross braces and bigger shocks take care of that?
