You could add power brakes to your existing chassis and maybe power steering too?

I've seen PS conversions from a couple members. I believe Doug [aka DigDoug]
converted one of his W200s to PS. Power brakes shouldn't be a big problem
either.... as W Series Sweptlines were available with them. :study :2cents

You could do a search for him [DigDoug] and either send him an email
or a PM [private message].

I did not get a PM. And I type with two fingers when I am in a hurry. (no,realy!)
I sold all of my sweptline trucks,except the invisible one. I just couldn't stand to see it go!
