IMC CHAPARRAL 2-E

[Hooked on Chaparral]

Rough model to build, great engineering and layout but just about everything needs re-worked. Makes for a fine subject when finished.

Great looking Chaparral !  Those IMC kits are a bear to assemble but were nicely detailed , you've done an excellent job !

Exceptional job on a difficult kit. Good to see one built up to this level. Well done!

I am sure it has its flaws like the GT40 kits but your build looks great.

 Thanks sorry about the focus on a couple of those photo's. I remember when I was 12 and seeing pictures of the real deal and that's what stoked my passion for Chaparrals. I am working on the ARII version of the 2-C now and I wanted to do it box stock but that's not happening  it's going to be a modified box stock. Lots of new found cuss words came with this build

WOW - You did an incredible job on this build. It looks absolutely fabulous.

[Dave B]

Nice build of an awkward kit William.

I wish there was a way for this kit to be brought back. It's still one of coolest looking race cars ever.

Very nice result, William - Chaparral's only CanAm winner.

I sold this kit 25 years ago after the trouble I had with the Ford Mk IV and the J-Car. 

I'm thinking of doing the same with Arii's 2 C :it is missing almost everything - only the body looks more or less acceptable, everything else is wrong or totally missing and would have to be scratchbuilt - what do you think about it?

Most excellent!

That looks fantastic!!  Great job on a difficult kit.

[Bainford]

Wow! fantastic work on a difficult kit. The IMC kits are cool, but man, they're tricky to get together cleanly. You have done a marvelous job on this one.

[Dann Tier]

I really like your building style, and subject matter -BRILLIANT!!!!!   i never saw doors open like that before...

Mr. Brown, where did you get the decals for that build??  I have built that kit, but the decals were trashed and I've never been able to find a duplicate set.
