Part 1 – Clean up

Be sure to fill and clean your resin parts. I do not use mold release in my molds, but the resin still can pick up some oil contamination from the silicone rubber mold. Soaking in tire bleach or spray and rinse down with oven clean works well. Also, when sanding the surface of the resin its recommended to use Dawn dish washing soap as that helps get any possible grease off
Wash and soak all resin parts in Tire Bleach overnight. This will remove all contamination/oil off the resin.
After the Tire Bleach Bath, use a scratch pad and scuff up the entire surface to clean and scratch up the surface for proper Primer adhesion. Using a high grit sandpaper to clean up and scratch up the surface is also recommended. Failing to clean the surface will result in paint not adhering or paint reaction.
Fill in any pin holes or air bubbles in the resin with putty or Bondo Spot filler and sand smooth.
This is the most important part of the build.

Step 2 – Buildup

-Drill out the center of the Transaxle with a #52 0.063” Drill bit
-Drill out the hole for the steering rod sleeve with a #52 0.063” Drill bit

-Paint the Undertray with Tamiya TS-29 Semi-Gloss Black
-Paint (A2) Transaxle with Tamiya TS-35 Gunmetal
-Insert Brass (M48) Rear Axle into drilled hole of (A2) Transaxle
-Superglue the (A2) Transaxle onto the Undertray.

Glue on the following parts illustrated below

The white metal suspension parts need to be polished with steel wool or a soft brass wire wheel as the Penske Cars had Chrome suspension

Step 4 Wheels and Tires
