Car identity cues to match (1967 Chaparral 2G): ultra-clean white body, open cockpit, mid-engine Can-Am stance, and the signature high-mounted rear wing supported by tall pylons. Prioritize a crisp silhouette first, then cockpit + wing details.
Powertrain cue Big-block Chevrolet V8 (427 cu in / 6997 cc class), mid-mounted. Visual hints: wide rear deck, cooling exits, simple engine cover lines.
Transmission cue 3-speed automatic (period Chaparral approach). Translate to LEGO as a reinforced “power spine” module (Technic box frame).
Mass/stance cue Low Can-Am ride height, wide rear slicks, and a strong rear weight bias. LEGO: internal Technic spine + boxed sills.
Aero cue High wing needs zero wobble. LEGO: triangulated pylons, pin-locked cross-brace, and legal hinge detents (if adjustable).
LEGO-legal + Studio validation plan: Build must snap to the stud grid (1 brick = 3 plates), use only official half-stud/SNOT elements, and pass Studio collision + connection checks: no intersections, no floating parts, no stressed connections. Moving features require clearance (no scraping or preload).
