1/12 Camaro body warped/twisted...any way to undo it?

[brodie_83]

I bought a 1/12 1969 Camaro kit on eBay last week and the only thing the guy said was that the roof was cracked...which I thought "big deal, I can fix that"...guess again. The body is warped/twisted and not sure how I can go about fixing it. I really want to build this kit, but this factor is worrying me. Does anybody have a fix for this? I'd post pictures, but my Photobucket is being stupid.

Quit putting too much torque to it!!

You can try using a hair dryer (but not so much that it MELTS the plastic) and twisting it back that way, or you can use hot water (not boiling).

I heat bodies with a hair dryer if needed,but only if needed. You can twist a body or chassis a lot before they will break. I just twist them more than needed so that when they spring back,they're where they should be. The only time I use heat is if the part won't hold it's shape. Nine times out of ten,they will hold their shape.
