Ok, so on my F-150 hard plastic body, theres some pretty "serious" damage to it. Cracks and such. I can provide pics if anyone is interested.
What Im hoping for is to see if anyone has any advice or know-how on how best to tackle repairing these cracks?
I want to make use of this body but I may not be able to, or certainly alot less comfortable using it with these cracks left untouched.
What says the masses?

Most of the scaler guys just use regular body filler and re-inforce the back with fiberglass tape and shoo goo, which I have at the store.

There is a great write up on using body fillers on rccrawler.com in the scale section
Good luck, can't wait to see the rig

Meh, I need to get motivated to work on it. Getting the framerails is the hard part. I just have so much on my plate at the moment lol.

Bought the 1/2" square steel tube to make the rails from. Bought a workbench, next payday I should be getting a vice and a torch unless I can find a vice secondhand before then.
