i agree with Frank and Cory. Use up what you have and you'll find that having to improvise sparks some sweet ideas. The para viper is a good base. i would give him boots, though. The helmet from the air viper and FANG pilot has a techno viper look. I like your idea of keeping them sort of garage mechanicy looking. add a rag in their pockets for realism. Good luck man
