As of December 3rd 2006, this is the pile of parts I have replaced. The old chest insert is long gone, as well as my original programming bay and neck. Most of what's left should burn pretty well.

TORSO IMPROVEMENTS SINCE THE BEGINNING

   Original thin torso hooks were replaced
   Programming bay was gutted and replaced. The original wasn't cut out to allow a sliding vent door
   Made new "diallights" from existing night lights purchased at a dollar store
   All new chest insert piece with purchased metal bezel. Also "official" round lenses for the belly lights replacing the plastic beads formerly there.
   Purchased embossed buttons
   Extended upper torso ring for more thickness
   Pipe insulation donut replaced with more rigid fiberglass
