Restoring a rare Kydex Chassis
Received this Wonder Dog chassis in much worse condition than pictures showed. Par for the course
I was going to put it in the junk pile but decided to turn it into a project.

JB Weld in hand I started to fill holes and since I had some extra I decided I would build up the trimmed edges instead of cleaning them up.

And time for the Wrinkle finish paint. I had to lay on more than I wanted to hide the scrapes and imperfections. A bit heavy but better than before.
I do not plan on running this chassis.

As opposed to the dozens of chassis that you do run?! Looks good Brian!

Re: Restoring a rare Kydex Chassis
When you say run, that means restore them (or not) and put them back in a box?
