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.
Just winging it with Toothpics

Surprisingly my last minute Toothpick mold was not a disaster.

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!

When you say run, that means restore them (or not) and put them back in a box?
