warped a body, do you think it is saveable?

[Mrdarkmonkey96]

Warped the body in the dehydrator...too much heat I guess... wierd how its just one side.....

Do you think I can save it, and how? Will reheating pop it back, will it crack the paint etc...I've pretty much got it perfect and ready for clear and now it warped....

Spare parts box.... Not salvageable bud.

That one is a loss. Sorry.

The only way I can use ones like that is for ether parts or you could use it for a diorama type build so it has use still....otherwise your going to need another body...sorry.

Best you can hope to do is heat it again to flatten it somewhat and make it look like crash damage, or chalk it up to experience and use it as the base for an aftermarket body conversion (luckily you have many choices nowadays).

DO take note of where it was in the dehydrator - maybe you have a "hot spot" in there.

Yup, time to add a few more dents, weather it and make it a beater. Might also be able to purchase a body only from Revell.

Or you can build an abandoned/damaged car...

What a shame. As others have said it's a candidate for a diorama with a beat up and weathered auto.

[Harry P.]

No way to bring that back.

[Mrdarkmonkey96]

Well not what I wanted to hear.... I spent a lot of time on that paint... dang. Thanks anyways though guys.

That's why I don't use a dehydrator! A 60 watt light bulb in a wooden box with a thermometer I built just for drying. Get up to 96 degrees and that's it.
