Afternoon Fellows,
Decided on keeping my Chaparral projects and will complete them and donate to the Chaparral Museum in Midland, TX along with the Chaparral Grand Sport. I am taking a Hiatus from my boat restoration after having been ripped off, lied to and Vandalized!
Just found some LONG sought after, accurate 1/24 48 MM Weber carbs and split offset manifold adapters for the Chaparral 2A, 2C and 2E. Produced by 3D Scale Parts, www.3dscaleparts.com, for $12.95 set of 2 carbs, you'll need two packs. You will need to put longer stacks on a except for the 2E. The Nassau only 2C also had 58 mm Webers. Intake manifolds will have to be slightly modified with the carb bases ALMOST bolting to the heads. I just read that these parts had the "Snowflake" casting mark indicating they were an Official GM High Performance part from the Winters Foundry.
When I finalize putting these Webers on my competed blocks (painted black per Jim Hall: Heat dissipation) I will post.
By the By: The Chaparral 2F had CLEAR downdraft tubes, like the Corvette Grand Sport II nee Chaparral 2B.
Thanx for listening, John
