lucky 130 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Jim Hall's "Roadrunners" were just that. put one on a road course and look out. They were just fast. When you dominate in racing, the controlling body outlaws the car or some part of the car. I always thought the "D" would make a really neat street car.

papajohn97 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Beautiful execution on this old tool (‘60’s?) bare bones kit. Based on color photos of the 1:1 Chaparrals that I’ve seen, you nailed that weird burnt umber color for the inside tub. Wish Fujimi would re-issue this kit, the current EBay prices for remaining unbuilt kits are nuts. I had the 1/24 Cox slot car version of this car (along with the Cheetah) and they are both on my long list of model and 1:1 cars that I wish I still had. Love all of Jim Hall’s race cars, like Gurney he could design and build ‘em as well as race ‘em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Nice work on the Chaparral. What a great looking race car. I'd like to build one of these to display with my Monogram build, but as others have noted, the prices are a bit crazy right now. I'd like to see this one reissued. Here's hoping.
