My Chaparral's & GS Vette

[Dave B]

Just a couple of group pics of my Chaparrals. They are, front to back, left to right:

LS 2C;

Monogram 2D, considerably modified and with resin wheels/tyres;

Fujimi 2D;

Fisher 2F;

Slush resin 2H, body and wheels & tyres are based on Mini Exotics and the rest is scratch built;

scratch built 2J, courtesy of plans from Model Racing Replica News, miss that mag!; and

Accurate Miniatures GS Vette but with correct bonnet (lower bulge and no vents).

I also have the Cox 2, 2D and mag frame 2E but as these are slot cars have not included them.

Tks for looking

Really nice collection!  I'm focused on the 2J Sucker Car, just because I have a Mini Exotics (r&d unique) kit that I got last century.  I've heard about that magazine having plans to make it.  It is such a basic shape, can see someone skilled as you doing it.

Very impressive collection!!!  You list a Fujimi 2D which I am not familiar with.  Could that be a Modelers 2D?

All issues of MRRN are available on a CD from the editor Mike Quarterman at modellwerke@gmail.com

Beautiful collection! I'm certain that I'm not alone when I say you now need to make 7 new posts; each as a detailed presentation with pics of each of these great builds as they all deserve their own post!

Agree 100% and that's coming from two Mustang guys.

This is the best collection of Chaparral cars I have seen since the 2005 Monterey Historics. Add my vote for separate posts for each model.

This is a fantastic collection. Chaparral's are my favorite race cars, the 2D and 2F in particular. Jim Hall was so instrumental in race car design, far ahead of his time.

The GS is very nice also.

You did a great job in representing each one.

I, too, would like to see posts on each car individually.

ALL are STUNNING!!!!

Saw the "Sucker" car race back in the day. Awesome stuff!!

A truly impressive collection for sure!  All are great in their own right!

Tks all. Gary , yes Fujimi is the Modellers 2D.  I have the disc, it's a pity one of the current model magazines couldn't do some articles in a similar vein as those that were in MRRN.

Awesome group

Great collection.  I'm partial to the 2C, before the aero stuff got too wild.  Add my vote for separate posts.

Great collection, Dave ! I really like Chaparrals, especially the 2 D ('66 Nürburgring winner) and the 2 F ('67 Brands Hatch winner) - I have your front row in my stash and several books on Chaparrals at home.

I agree with the others here: make individual posts for the models - we would like to see more and larger pics of each!

[jokar124]

Greetings gents! I too agree with all the comments above,  but  I also think we need to see those Cox slot cars !

How about it, Dave? Some of us here are also racers!
