toyota celsior: the ultimate pimp machine

i just bought the fujimi toyota celsior kit today. these cars are so pimp, i had to get it. i plan to slam it and get some huge wheels for it. the kit looks good, but the body is a bit warped; the roof leans to one side. does anyone know how easily straighten warped parts? ill try gently heating it and adjusting it. also, ill try to get pics soon.

Re: toyota celsior: the ultimate pimp machine

it was the last one and on special. thats why i bought it. im hoping i can just fix it. i can bend it back to its proper position, but it just doesnt stay there, thats why i think i need to heat it.

Re: toyota celsior: the ultimate pimp machine

I'd use the hairdryer before the lighter for sure! be gentle with it or it will be a lot worse than warped!!
