I have an all black team car, it was missing a few bags and even the chassis but still in the box. I foolishly opened this bag before snapping the pic but this is what was there- black worlds bulkhead, plastic brace, and black cut nose. There isn't any other combo that this bag could have come from other than a team car as far as I can tell. Worlds would have a carbon brace and worlds tower, champ was a gold nose, etc.

I have decided to go in a different direction in this build, mainly due to the fact that I finally sourced a standard black nose plate. I will now be using a late B stamped chassis, standard nose, rear bulk head, tranny brace. Because I don't have TQ/22, I will still be using white raised X rear A arms, and aluminum front in-line axels with TQ/23 and hope this will all work out as far as being correct.

Also forgot, I picked up a few packs of these. They contain the raised dot chassis screw that I so crave. Also in those kits, brand new 10T turnbuckles that will be used on a later early 7011 build. Picture quality is poor. My camera won't pick up the raised dot, but it is there, on all of them.

So what do you guys think, could that then be a possible parts combo?

i believe there was an early/late(r) deal with black and gold springs. pretty sure my team car came with gold springs, but i think they were eventually swapped out in favor of black.

not 100% on that......

The stealth kit came with a white spur. Any time I see a team car it has a black spur. Because it is a later car, should I be after a black spur?

On later team cars, as well as CE's was the wing wire pre bent, or was it the straight piece of piano wire.
