In case anyone is looking for a similar project, this guy is selling 5 Chap 2D bodies in one lot...errantly thinking they are Lambos.

Just for general info, If I didn't have all of them I want, I'd pay $50 for the lot. Maybe a little more. Good luck.

Nice conversion! I did the exact same deal on mine.

I picked up the 5 Chaparral bodies. Three are already spoken for but I will sell the other 2 for $16 each including postage.

Ok, I'll bite. One please. PM me the details please.

All gone. I took one of the fresh new looking bodies and mounted it on an olifer 3E printed chassis I had under a MRRC Chaparral 2F. Removed the strombecker mounting posts and fashioned some new ones from a scavenged body and positioned them at the MRRC locations. I then had to removed a section of the interior tray to make room for a slot.it sidewinder motor pod. I will take some pictures and post them soon. The other Chappy with the sebring chassis and a FF slimline motor is currently the faster of the two.
