Hi Fran,

At this rate it won't be long before it's easier just to list what you don't have a replica of :-) Very cool.

Regards,

Al H.

Ummm, they're not replicas.

Jim's got the garage I dream about. Color me green with envy.

Re: My Latest
The Chapparals are not from me but I am involved in the project...they are official cars , Jim Hall is directly involved.
100% correct with the automatic transaxle too.
Just wait for Monterey......

No more info at this time..... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: My Latest
She arrived! I'll download and post photo's this evening.
Safe journey. She started right up. Drove her into the shop. Sal's going through her, changing her oil, and then we're going for a long drive.

She's fantastic. A few interesting things.
0846 is Def. a P3 chassis converted as per 0846's Technical Data Sheets as delineated in my 100 pages. By comparing at 0854's chassis you can see exactly how 0846's chassis was originally before it was modified and you can see the vistagle welds on 0846 where tubes were cut to accept a P4 engine.
0854's wheelbase is 2412mm
0846's wheelbase is shortened by 12mm.
0854 has original engine stamped 0854 412P and original chassis stampings.
The tail on 0854 is a P3 Spyder tail that shows signs of accident repair. That is why she's missing lower tail lights.
The hindge points on the Spyder tail match exactly to 0846's hindges.
0854 of course has correct door bottom/front side of tail line.
0854's original tail and doors are a sight to see. Fantastic.
0854's original doors are aluminum.
0854's spyders doors are fiberglass.
0854 has full road gear including a handbrake and computer speedo.
More to follow.
Best

Re: My Latest
Hi Chris,

I was referring to Fran's commercial offerings through RCR, not 0854 or J6, but I did not know that Jim Hall was involved in the Chapparal project!

Regards,

Al H
