I'm sitting here Saturday morning, licking my wounds with a feeling of acomplishment. Tuesday when we open, Active Power Inc. will begin production on our 2D FIA Coupe. This project started in 1999 when there was a press release showing a 2D Replica in Kit Car Magazine. Joe Korkin had actually created a replica of the Chaparral 2D from 3 D Modeling Software. After years of on again off again negotiating with Joe, I was finally able to pry the project from him lock stock and barrel. I've poured every extra waking moment I've had into this project and am pleased to say it's ready. (Almost) I appreciated Frans note above because I approached Jim Hall about a licencing agreemment too with the same response but he was gracious to me and just made it clear he didn't want it marketed as a "Chaparral"
We're building the first production kit right now and are planning to be at as many Sports Car and Vintage Races as we can in 2007. We'll look forward to hopefully seeing GT40's.com members at the Events.
Happy New Year
