A fun build for a local vintage race series. A little rushed and sloppy, but should look decent at speed... Toytech body with Dynamic chassis, silicone rears, and Russkit front wheels and tires.

Good use of a Dynamics chassis.

Chaparral AND Dynamic!!! Nice!!

You’re so lucky to have a place to actually race a vintage chassis like this.

Thanks to all for the positive comments.  And yes, Paul, since we have so many homes with basements in Colorado, there are a lot of great "man caves".  The 2J gets its first race tomorrow, 10/11/26.

How did you do? What other types of production cars were racing?
