Yee-ikes! My Eldo seems rock stable, but I've only taken it to a little
over 75 mph.
Does anyone know if I can use a paint stripper to remove the funky old
blue metallic paint from the fiberglass bags, or would this destroy the
fiberglass. I started taking the bags apart last night and I think they
can probably be restored. My Eldo is red/white and the bags were
originally white--does anyone know if black bags were ever put on R/W
Eldos?
