Check these out, Custom Champ Cars

[Chev_350]

Check these awesome creations out, He takes the best bits from two Action Champcar models, custom creates the rest and in the end he has made a work of art. And he can do most if not all cars from early 90s until 2005 as well as some IRL cars, I am not sure if he sends to Aus though.....but man I wanna find out

Awesome site! I shudder to think of the costs involved though.
I'm VERY tempted to find out though! The Tracey Toronto car would look great in my collection! :D

Those cars look so real! Especially the 2006 Michael Valiente Bullsone Korean Champ Car.

Great Job:)

Cheers,

I bit the bullet and sent an email asking if could do a version of the car that Jason Bright ran, not sure of the year but i think it was 00. I would like a copy of that as he was very unlucky to be shunted out of the race.

Well i've taken a dive and ordered the 2005 Radolfo Lavin car from the final round in Mexico where he ran with Corona sponsership. While the car is expensive the work that Chapparrel puts in is amazing- have seen more photos of his latest work and wow! Will keep everyone informed an dpost pics when it finally arrives- will take time to build

Made me laugh :D

Yes; i've paid a deposit and now wait until Gary gets around to finishing the car. He says they usually take a couple of months due to the work he puts in and that required to change the action shells over to the correct Lola chasis

If you don't mind me asking, How much in Australian dollars does he charge?

[Tumbo]

Its $400US for the finished product, this includes the base model supplied by him. Postage to Australia is free

I ended up changing my order from the Lavin car. Thought long and hard and made the decision that there were other cars I wanted more. Key among those being the Team Kool Green cars from 2002. These were awesome machines with metallic paintjobs -blue for Dario and green for Tracy. Looking through pics from Surfers I came across ones showing the Dario car as finished; in waht was an amzing race won by mario Dominguez in heavy rain; after a large pile-up on the start line; which Dario was involved in. Dario was always my favourite driver and Team Green my team to support :D

Having watched the race I had forgotten about the state of Dario's car on finishing; he had damaged his fron nose-cone and due to a lack of blue cones needed a replacement from the Tracy garage. Looked amazing IMHO

Garry has only just finished this masterpiece and so I await for it to arrive; but have pics to satisfy until then

lets just say an excellent end to the Indy ;)

[Chev_350]

looking very nice indeed.....I'd love to get models for all the Aussies that have started the Indy 300, but aint got a spare $3,700.

Car arrived today; absolutely amazing work by Gary; thanks go to all the artists also who helped him with the decals. Once the digi camera makes a return with the bro from Switzerland this weekend there will be pics aplenty!

Yuck!!! You can't drive that down a dirt road!!! :) :)

[Chev_350]

[diecastaddict]

You can, just not very far...

[lachlan]

True... I just prefer Tumbo's Subaru collection. :)

[Chev_350]

Not a champ car, but a car by the same mob. As soon as I get paid tomorrow I am putting a deposit down for a 1/18 Ryan Briscoe Nikon Indy 300 winning car, a special car before as he was the first Aussie winnner and even more special as it is the last winner for a race that the IRL let slip throught their fingers (crowd numbers only 2nd to the Indy 500, Tony George you stupid stupid man)

[wayno]

You got a link for the Briscoe car as I think I could live with one as well?

[Chev_350]

no link for the Briscoe car, mine will be the first they make.

[wayno]

Hopefully mine will be the second. Just emailed them. :)

[Chev_350]

you end up ordering the Briscoe car Wayno?

Wow, I can't believe that this custom started its life as a Greenlight model.
