Hello I'm glade to be here! I'm looking forward to having some fun on here with you all! Just a little about myself... I'm from Washington state in the trees, My profession is Machining and or Farming. I've been building Indy cars and Formula one models for about only five years, I buy decals from Indycals and Ive done some McLaren's, Penske's, Eagle's and more...I will later show...My favorite car is the Chaparral 2k which Ive bulit that resin last month! I have the tendency to modify and build cars from scratch. I really have a hard time following the instructions on a typical AMT instruction sheet, either im cutting the wing down on an McLaren or fixing a front end on a Eagle or tying to build a Penske pc10 from scratch (which has not came out how I wanted) I really enjoy talking and learning about USAC and CART history. But other than that I could go on and on... thank you and Talk with you all soon chaparral2k  |

Welcome to the board. There's a wealth of knowledge and information here to build almost any open wheel car. I've found it a tremendous help, many times!

Welcome, and what a beauty on that Chaparral. My all-time favorite car, and winner of the first race I ever went to. Was that really almost 30 years ago!?!

True and false - Yes I was a machinist, and no Gardening is NOT FARMING in my book these days- I was trying to act all tough.... ..My favorite car is the Chaparral 2k Still is, amazingly I have the tendency to modify and build cars from scratch. I really have a hard time following the instructions on a typical AMT instruction sheet, either im cutting the wing down on an McLaren or fixing a front end on a Eagle or tying to build a Penske pc10 from scratch (which has not came out how I wanted) LOL I think everyone has....  thank you and Talk with you all soon chaparral2k Back before everyone knew my name... |
