I have a back glass, soundboard and body to a quicksilver and I'm looking for ideas or advice on how to make it whole again. I thought it over and could go several ways but if anybody has done this sort of thing before and has any advice I'd appreciate it.

Option 1: build the head from scratch or find a comparable head. I'd have to buy the displays and a wire harness and the remaining boards. It's an expensive option but I'd have mostly new parts. Determining the position of each back box light would be a pain.

Option 2: find a parts flight 2000 and use that head. I'd have to swap out the ROM and repaint the head. I could use the displays especially because they match the locations of quicksilver. This appears to be cheaper and easier but I don't know if I like tearing up one machine to make another like that. The back box lights would not be in the right positions but oh well.

Just build a new head, and ask someone here to photograph the light array dead-on so you can reproduce it.
