Hi, Just a few updates on whats going on inside Chapparrel's Diecast. Over the last year we have been fielding requests for decals and artwork. Chapparrel's Diecast is not in the artwork/decal business at all. What we do is custom art for our own cars, and our artisian Jim Dolan (Ghostman Graphics) has no interest in taking up the slack for previous custom printers. Please understand we cannot get cars done any faster as we had a decal workload for guys doing their own decals. Ghostman Graphics works closely with racing teams trying to get our art as perfect as possible, and I am very happy with the results. January 16, 2008 During the last year I have been working to get my detailers certification and finally did last week.  I completed my course and accomplished my goal. This not only allows us to do different things but will improve our creations vastly.  Everything I went through was well worth it. Thanks again and we look forward to the New Year and new racing season. Sincerely

Hello everyone, As you may know Champ Car in recent years has yet to upgrade its Diecast chassis so we have been stuck with Reynards. Well Champ Car and Speedgear have struck a deal with Greenlight collectibles to have Champ Cars brand new Panoz chassis produced sometime in April 2008. This is great news for the series and the fans!  Doing what we do here at Chapparrels, this will make for wonderful conversions for many years to come. What we are asking is if you choose to have a “Custom” car created with a certain race/driver, I would suggest that you purchase more than 1 diecast so we can have donor cars to work with. We will stock them, but if you can supply us with donors that would be awesome! So April '08, look out for the new die casts. I want to thank everyone for being patient with back orders as life has its curveballs that we have to negotiate on a daily basis. But in the end everyone is happy, so again... Thank You. I am really looking forward to the future. Everyday we miss Earl Ma here because he was infectious with his work ethic and kindness, but myself and Jimmy Dolan, are committed to continue what he would have wanted, and that is cranking out kick ass die casts, that are one of a kind. Thanks again and we look forward to the New Year and new racing season. Sincerely
