Chaparral 2E

[Dave B]

There was a 50% off sale a month or so back so I asked Phil to download this file for me.

He surprised me a few weeks back by printing it for me.

Looks good but a lot of work to do.  Motor, suspension and interior look good but the wheels are a bit average. There are also 2 McLaren's available so might look at them shortly.

Ohh this falls into my: This is gonna be wild build category!

Ok, I've finished the salt lake racer but have yet to post 'under glass' so I've started on the 2E.

This is a nice file but needs lots of work as usual.  Front end and engine detail is really good and it deserved the rear of the body cutting off to reveal it.

I've put in about 30 hours so far and a lot more to do to get the nose sitting properly and the interior to fit.

Loving it!!

Coming along slowly, interior needs lengthening so that will be my next job.

Three Chaparral books but this one gives the best detail reference photos for the 2E.

I'm in awe of anyone who can paint that the way it's made, many sub-assemblies all together, and make it look good. 

Thanks for the heads-up on the reference book too.

Here is a link to photos I took at the Monterey Historics when all the still existing Chaparrals were present
