It looks like the Scarabs and the Chaparral Villains have a lot in common

Yeah I noticed that they look almost identical I think there is a chaparral villain for sale on eBay right now and even the grab rail around the windshield and the raised part of the nose is the same but I haven't found much info on the molds or anything

I have the same headband also lol
I'll have a decent build almost a 383 but not a 400 crank
And I have a 454 it needs cam bearings but I feel like if I go that deep it will snow ball and ill end up putting a lot more than I wanted into it and I'd rather have a 25 26 foot boat with a single.....awesome pic btw ....feeling like Miami vice when I drive it
