Howard Cohen Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have seen these advertised but I have never seen an actual body. Can anyone tell me about the quality and accuracy? I am interested in getting the Chaparral 1, Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am currently working on one as a model. The Ferrari 850 Monza. The resin seems to be a good "alloy" for a slot car, but a significant amount of prep was needed on the body I am working on before it could be painted, but I also am adding lights and an opening hood. Here is a link to the thread (within this site) of what I've done to it so far. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Cohen Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks for the info. I have seen some of your Monza photos and it looks very good. The Chaparral 1 is the only one missing from my collection of Chaparral CanAm cars, so I think I will have to order it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Just checked out their site and those bodies look great. Even if they need some cleanup it will probably be a lot less work than I have to do to convert old 1/32 shelf model kits. This will probably inspire me to build some new cars!

n9949y Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Here's one of my Resilient Resin bodies- perhaps the only 1/24th 1954 Mercedes Benz W-196 Stromline in production. This slot car is raced at Pelican Park Speedway, Eugene, OR in its Monza class. (My Resilient Resin 1956 Lancia-Ferrari D-50 and my Resilient Resin Maserati 250F) Edited August 28, 2007 by n9949y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) That looks great and so does the track. Is that your home track or a club track? ...Doh! I just realized you said you raced it at Pelican Park. I knew the track looked really nice! Edited August 27, 2007 by mr moto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
