not a model, but has anyone ever seen one of these

I picked this up the other day and I'm doing a semi restoration and clean up on it.
It measures 13 inches long and was made by the processed plastic company out of Illiniois sometime in the 60's.
The reason why i bought it is because it's the famous ChiZler front engine dragster.
It's missing the blower scoop, the parachute, one front wheel and the drivers helmet. I have a solution for all of these issues, except for the parachute. I'm pretty sure that it originally had a scoop, a parachute and a helmet on the drivers head based n the holes in the body, his head and the way the stacks (pins) are on top of the blower. I can't seem to find ANY information on this anywhere.
The valve covers, headers and blower need to be re-chromed...any suggestions on who can re-chrome plastic parts?

Looks like a toy my son had when he was a boy.

yeah as far as I've found out, these were made in the 60's, but there is very little information on them.
There are toy collector web sites, but none of them have one of these.
