Really beautiful car Jim and that's from someone who's a GT40 fanatic.
Now all you have to do do is prise the Chapparal 2F from Jim Hall!!
Regards Allan
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..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
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
