Hello
I am currently working on a M978 Tanker, and have moded the chassis ( extended to put in a larger fuel tank ) I have not worked on it in about a month due to uni. when I went to work on it today I noticed that it has a slight curve to it. Its not enough to cause fitting problems with the tank, but enough to probably loose points in next years model show.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a method to to get rid of the slight bend.
Thanks,
Mark

Heat it in hot water and bend it back to shape. Run it under cold water when it is straight again and it should hold.
