i first started with a new original SS instruction manual, and have slowly been collecting NIP parts over the last few months and have finaly got them all now, all are not pictured because most are away getting proffesionaly chrome plated. its got a awesome alloys SRB competition chassis, alloy gear & motor covers and skid plate, also awesome alloys rough rider boxart wheels (on the way) all from Rad, a set of alloy mirrors from another tc member. nearly every plastic part has been replaced with alloy and all screws and bolt ect have been replaced with stainless steel, every thing on this car is gonna be brand new. the body is original but i will probably put it on my fully original SS (post pics of that soon) and put a modified blitzer beetle shell on this one. other than all of the above its all original:-) even the new radio reciever box. as soon as all the parts are back from A-class metal finnishing, i will post more pics! if anyone has any good ideas for it please let me know!

Nice! As for ideas, you can buy carbon fiber tubing which I've always felt would look good on the front suspension against plated parts. Not tried it myself yet, so not sure if the exact sizes are available. Does Rads competition chassis work with the radio box? If not, might be worth asking Loaded (Paul) if he has any Carbon Fiber ones left - I have one from him and they look amazing.
