Lizard Racing Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I saw the 2D in another post and was inspired to try my own. I'm a Jim Hall fan from way back. The kit is the Monogram curbside/slot car body. The rear wheels were widened with a wheel half from the parts bag. Also from the bag is the SBC with carbs from another Chaparral kit (I can't remember which one). The rear number was a challenge. The kit decals have a white interior, so I had to make a duplicate on clear decal paper and cut to fit. Since this is the car as ran at Daytona, the oil cooler on the right fender had to be scratch-built. For reference, i highly recommend the book Chaparral by Falconer and Nye. The Chaparrals were backyard specials (really special) from Texas that took on the best in the world-and beat 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim N Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Very nice! I built this one box stock a number of years ago, and it remains one of my favorite finished kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
