I am starting this one now, I will be engineering the fit and assembly, then paint the body for now. I usually only do that much in the summer then build complete in the fall and winter. Mainly because of my electrical layout I cannot airbrush over the summer. I am looking for to building this historically significant car. It is the 1967 1000km of Nurburgring winning Chapparal 2D. This is the Modeler's kit which is far better than the Monogram kit. The moulded open wheels and the tires are beautiful. There are polished metal parts for the gas caps and rearview mirrors. It is a curbside with a moulded in the chassis engine.

sweet! the chapparal 2d! i'll watch this thread. :)

Here is an update. I have been etting the major structures to line up and adding pins and stuff for a sturdier model. Got it up on 4 wheels. This car looks great after 40 years. It even has a spare tire.
