Chaparral 2H

[cc]

This is my 1/28 Otaki 2H. Always thought this car should have done better than it did. This is a electric motor kit that I scratch built the interior,seats,dash,and all in the drivers compartment. Kit came with a rear panel for a 2G. Had o scratch build that panel and radiator tunnel. Wheels are 1/25 wire wheels turns down to give a better look from what came on this kit.

Great build cc. Jim Hall original intended for the car to driven with the driver fully enclosed. That is the purpose of the large side windows and the wide flat windscreen. The driver, John Surtess I believe it was refused to drive the car in that configuration. So Hall was forced to raise the driver position significantly to allow Surtees head to stick out above the body work.

That's one really nice build of the Chaparral 2H. Honestly, I can see Surtees point about being able to properly see where one is going as well as where he just came from.

Thanks guys. Yes John did  make them change the position. He could not make it work in that driving position. It was hard to see the apex of the corner. Chaparral was a real innovator.
