I built a number of magnesium chassis. I don't recall ever seeing a stamped one.
To answer your question, first carefully disassemble the car. I would simply use very light sandpaper, maybe 400 grit, to polish the entire chassis. I would routinely do this to my dragsters. Do the same with the motor (Pittman? Ram?) and I would add ball bearings and of course an Armature!
