Title: Race Plastcis Repair
Post by: Fast Cletus on June 18, 2009, 08:55:27 AM
Does anyone know someone in South FL that will fix my race plastics? They are not in that bad of shape but I am by no means a fiberglass artist, and if there is a way to fix them cheaper than buying a new set I am all ears

Jim,

I am pretty handy with buzz bomb and I have painted and repaired all the race glass that I have owned. The last being some stuff that was discarded and given to me by Chris.

If you want a prime job then I would steer you towards my brother Paul. He has been doing body and paintwork for the past 30 years. Ask Tim about the work he did on Kyle's bike.

I do know that street and competition had an upper for $349.

I have use epoxy to fill the cracks/holes several times. Let it dry real good and sand it down. You're good to go. I always just rattle canned the needed area and/or stuck a big sticker over it.
You're looking at $10 - $15 tops.

I was able to repair my uppers, but had to order the lowers. Could of fixed them but would be afraid they would fall off.

EmpireGP.com is only a cardboard box away. He does full plastic welding. He races with us too.

Wish I would of had this info last week.  Will see if these guys can fix my lowers and just keep them in case something happens, or in case a  fellow racer needs a hand

I'm in Fort Myers.  I can fix them if they are race bodywork.  If I can't, which is rarely, I will set you a set or refer you to buy a new set.  I can just fix it with or without paint. 

Thanks Ron
