Are any of those currently being produced? the LS 2C kits can be found on e-bay and Chaparral 2A can be purchased at Modelbuilderswh. com and is a HRM kit. the Fein Design Modell (slotcar body kits) are close to impossible to find even on e-bay. only about 200 kits are made of each body made. waited about 5 years to finallly get the wide rear fender Chaparral 2G from Fein Design Modell.

RancheroSteve Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Wow, okay - watching with interest. I saw the 2 and the 2E race. Looks like you're doing the late style 2 with the 2C style wing? I have a few Chaparral builds planned here myself. I have the LS kit, the HRM kit, and and old Cox slot car body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65slotcar Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 so the first one will be an early 2A and with Starfighter decals the plan is to make the Gold Star #6 Chaparral. starting with a cox re-pop slot car body i cut off front at body lines and used front from an LS brand 2C . shaved off front fins and filled in headlights slightly for smaller headlights. will be using chassis from mini exotics kit for a better interior and an engine.
