Body
Get rid of any dents or scratches on the body of the rolling chassis. For removing a dent, use the suction out method or simply hammer out the dent. Avoid using too much force when trying to remove a dent in the body of the rolling chassis because if you do so, you might end up forming a new dent. For getting rid of scratches, consider purchasing body filler. The colour of the filler you purchase should be same as the colour of the body. Only a paint job would be required if there are no dents or scratches on the body of the chassis being repaired. -
