Just went through the WIP, great concept and some outstanding detail work. I really like the "fighter aircraft" cockpit controls.

Thank you kindly Ricky!

It's probably the build that I'm most proud of.

Looks fantastic - I think this kit and a few builds like this helped people to put down the torches and pitchforks out for "curbside" kits. 

You nailed it, and it would definitely be in the tin come awards time.

Thank you for your kind comment Bob.

I really don't have a problem with curbside kits. When I built my '71 T-Bird, for a number of reasons I actually opted for the engine plate instead of the engine. 

 

It worked out fine in my opinion.

Thanks again,

David G.

Very clean build. Lots of small details to see once you study the pictures.

Read about these in I believe the Feruary issue of Collectible Automobile; interesting article about the Chaparral racers. Good looking model 👍
