Ok! it's been awhile, but here are some progress on the Sideways.
It's not in manual building order as I have none and the last time I built one of these were in the eighties :D
I've got the top deck mounted along with parts of the roll cage and the electronics except for the motor.
Waiting on new shocks as the old were missing all internal parts :roll:

There is not really any such thing as an aluminum preservative. Anodizing acts like a preservative. You can also clear-coat it, and the clear-coat acts like a preservative...or you can apply a car wax, which will protect the aluminum the same way it would protect an automotive paint job.

In regards to alu. preservatives I personally use car wax. Seals the surface to eliminate finger prints and so on. Now I'm talking shelf queens here so it's not bashers choice off protection :wink:

The build is moving on. I got the nib shocks assembled and mounted along with nib roll cage and resistor heatsink.
The rims are just undergoing some minor grinding and polishing as there were some scuffs and dents on the edges.
