to paint or polish

Post by hotrodlincoln »

i recently accuired an rc10t that someone hacked. i originally purchased it for my girlfriend but her driving skills aren't up to par and i was afraid she would break an irreplaceable part so i confiscated it and decided to restore it. Originally i was going to take down all the scratches on the bottom of the chassis and and polish the whole thing, then last night i was lookiing at the chassis and noticed some did there own fabricating. There are about 5-10 ten holes drilled in the chassis that aren't susposed to be there. so here's my dillema should i polish it or fill the holes and repaint and dull coat the chassis. this will be a truck i will run but not abuse. thanks matt 8)

one good thing about the 10t is that a lot of the parts are still readily available. the ones that are prone to damage, anyway.

being as though the tub is pretty much shot already, i would just do whatever you want to it. if it doesn't work out, look for a decent tub on ebay to replace it.
