Yep. After prepping, (had a couple holes to fill and textured the unscratched smoother areas), I put tape on the underside over the factory holes. I squeegeed on a topcoat and the scratches naturally instantly disappeared. After curing, I sanded it down. Gave it a wet/sand and polish to get a good smooth reflection. Then I cleaned out the factory holes with a bit/countersink. Totally curious to run it and see how it holds up. When I flex the chassis it seems good to go. The question would be impacts from rocks and such. Based on the character of the resin around the holes where I had to re-drill and sink, the bond is impressive.
I've been thinking about doing this with crystal clear epoxy, yours looks great! The bond should be fantastic provided you de-greased the chassis during prep.
What year did AE use the black idler gear for the 1st generation grarbox? I know the first kits came out with the white gear but I do not know when they stopped using it.. Anyone? :)

the black idler gears were on the rc10 graphite released in 1989. the tq10 didnt have the updated idlers when it was released. they must be good gears because mine still look new and my car is still being raced today
I'm sure this has been discussed before. What's the best way to get your old white plastic parts looking new again or at least better? I was thinking about a 90% water 10% bleach soak. Is this a bad idea? Also will putting the parts in semi boiling...

Thanks for the info on Super Clean. I went looking for some today, didn't find it. So I was going to get some Simple Green instead when I passed by the Soft Scrub products and found this....
Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work! :shock:
Cheers,

i've used castrol super clean and had decent results getting parts clean, but once that white plastic gets that yellowish stain to it, its pretty much impossible to get WHITE again. i've tried bleach, softscrub, boiling them in bleach... nothing...
