Monogram Chaparral 2d

[Jairus]

A one year freaking project comes to a close tonight! Yahoo!!!!

A moment of silence please........

Received a Monogram Chaparral 2d body many moons ago with the wishes of the owner that I would - "find a chassis" and paint a body for this please. "Keep it as close to original as possible" were the only paramenters.

Well, I am no Chris Clark (bosmek) but I think it turned out pretty well!

There was a huge crack on the starboard fin. I am guessing it was from forcing the wing back into the holes.

I had to glue it back into position, putty and paint. Not to mention clear coat to match the rest of the car!

This is the chassis I started with....

And then with equipment installed....

Interior painted and installed....

And under the skirts....

Hope Ralph likes it....

Very cool! I don't know how you do it, being able to fit all the components into a body like that. All I can say is I hope the guy doesn't crash it. The crack that you say that you did is not even noticeable. Excellent job on the repair.

Nice Clean Build of a Classic Endurance Racer.

That looks great! Considering the color, is that a Chevy wound mill?
