the silver looks really good. I bought one from the Everything RC store (http://www.hobbyetc.com/) in Nashua and had it powder coated black. It is pretty shiny to begin with. Not as clean and shiny as the chrome, but good.

That looks pretty cool. I'd personally go with either polished or even chromed shocks. the threads would need to be stripped to work obviously. Maybe go with silver springs and even chromed towers. I guess what I'm saying is make the whole damn thing chrome and white! 8) As for the condition of the chassis, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Once the wheels(chrome wheels of course :wink: )are on it no one will even notice. Unless you're racing at the highest level with a world class driver at the wheel it will change very little about how you perceive it. Not that I mean to imply that anyone on here is not a world class driver! :lol: How much did it cost to get the stuff chromed if you don't mind me asking? I wouldn't mind getting some of my GT parts chromed. Nice build! :D

when i stripped my shocks.
i filled the ends of the shock bodys with moldeling clay then used a nail stuck in my vice and stuck it in the clay , it keeps the insides from getting eaten by the cleaner.
And used the easy off yellow the gold comes of real fast so a few goes at it is better than leaving it on for to long as it will start eatting the alloy
