Could be Parma, Composite Craft or even Duratrax. Many aftermarket brands issued the same chassis with a different tag... Looks like it will clean up nicely.

what does the core look like(side view cross section), and how is the rear finished? it's interesting that the nose portion is really sharp, as well as the angles on the sides, most of the composite craft/trinity chassis I have seen have slightly rounded edges, so I'm not sure if that is one.

Just received an email response from Terry Rott... Yes this chassis is indeed a Composite Craft chassis. Terry worked there in the past and said MANY composite chassis came from Composite Craft back then...
