The small scale ChEaparral is done!

Finally done.

I regret that I have just one thumbs up to give. It's epically good!

That looks just fantastic. Great job!

Epic

I can almost hear the scream of the sucker fan from the pictures.

DAmn., that is cool as hell. I have seen that car in person at the corvette place in 2015.

Amazing job!

Of all the things I expected to see today, a faithfully produced scale model of a Challenge car was not one of them. Very cool indeed.

(an article about the original car, for those like myself who weren't familiar with the source context since it was before I started working here.)

Incredible build! Just curious, has Team Cheaparral(Stoyan, Cliff, et al) seen the pictures yet?  What are their reactions?

In reply to RustBeltSherpa :

They knew it was being built as they sent vwc the original artwork files which I used to make the decals.

God tier

OMG

In reply to RustBeltSherpa :

All of us didn't know until Tuesday.  George Rooney had reached out to Stoyan, and he had sent reference photos.  Kerry, Cliff, Sue, Matt, wayne, Jason, Russel, Brian, Pat, Dan, and myself saw them then.  Don't know if Danny saw yet, but he's about to get the link. Dan and Stoyan sent the files.

Great work by George Rooney.

They've been involved since the beginning. I sent pics last week before I posted here. I was so excited they liked it. 

When the model build for October became the "Challenge" I really had only 1 choice. See, I always wanted to be the first Vette to the Challenge, but it never worked out. I was totally in awe of their build. So when October came around I knew what I was doing. Thanks to Stoyan and company for many reference photos and information. Thanks to Mike (Javelin) for supplying the turbos and the decals. Thanks to the GRM community for finding positive and fun ways to deal with the isolation of the pandemic. I've now built more model cars in the last year than in the past two decades. And I'm not stopping.

I <heart> GRM!

Thanks for sharing your work with the rest of the class. Totally digging these builds. Glad to see it becoming such a group project, too.

Thanks, everyone.
