Good News: I just found the original photos of my visit to Midland 17 March 1987. I had CD copies made and have to find them. I shot everything there including the CERV II/GS II (Chap 2B). If you are doing a 2D, 2E or 2F I have GREAT shots, body off, bare chassis,engines and the "Slush Box!" Unfortunately some water damage from being Homeless and living in my truck but I hope the negatives are good. I think you'll be surprized.

That is indeed good news, as well as hearing that you come such a long way from being homeless to one of us. Always love a great story with a great ending.

Gotta say that the wheel really looks quite good.

thanks Joel, so i had no idea on how to make fender tire clearance humps. after a few failed attemps i came up with this. cut sections out of un-used front end that had the same contour. did some shaping and added a few plastic strips underneath.

Those fender humps really came out looking quite good.

finally got a good picture of wheels and this car had no oval rings on wheels. fine with me,less work and wheels are just about done. looks like wheels had a small hole on flat disc. maybe an access to valve stem.

not too much progress , some body filler on 2A . Chaparral 2C (LS KIT) modified side scoop, opened up scoop and moved it back to correct spot. added screens.

Bill,
All added small details contribute to the overall model in a positive way. the wire mesh screens really look perfect.

The wobbly wheels are indeed Lotus wheels. The "2A" did not use a big block. The confusion is that Hap Sharp's car ran the BOP 215 aluminum engine with a Cooper transaxle at first.

JC , another great picture. reference photos are always a great help and this is a great shot of the exhaust and height of weber stacks.
