Excellent work. But can you tell me a bit more about how you've fixed up the lexan body. e.g. what materials and methods have been used, etc. Thanks in advance.

as far as body repairs go, I have tried to save this old shell. The only option is to paint on top and repair the damage. Which mostly consists of holes done by the previous owner , so i cut out the windows becuse i will be doing a black netting material , anyway i used the lexan from the windows as patchs for the under5side, sanded the area to be glued on with 120 grit , then i cut them accordingly and jb welded them under the holes also kinda filling the holes on top, once dry 2 part autobody puddy was used to smooth over the low spots on top then 220 grit dry paper the whole thing and degreased then 2 light coats of this tamiya primer. I must say this is the frist time using tamiya primer i wanted to use a light primer so it doesn't fill in the little body lines like the usual autobody primer i use. i will sand it down then prime it again then sand it .I figure it should be ready for paint i will probley finish it off in 600 wet grit as a final.
