Re: Poor CAT
I've looked at PandaGFX before for decals for my other buggys, but i've been trying to come up with something myself as a challenge.brian s wrote:really nice restoration, have you tried these for decals.

I've been experimenting with my printer setup and i've managed to come up with some clear backed decals which i like. The only thing to consider with them is that since they are clear and my printer can't print white, they can sometimes be a little different in colour when fitted. For example i tried some silvery/grey decals and when fitted to the gold car they look brown.. Pink ends up red etc, so it's been trial and error with colours.
Here's a pic of some of the decal sheets a made :

I actually fitted my set of aluminum wheels yesterday and finished deciding on the decal colours, so here's a few pictures of how it looks complete..ish

Re: Poor CAT
I'd be all over wet-sanding and polishing those wheels & shock bodies to a shiny gloss. Just my 2 centavos, anyway. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

I'd thought of really going at the wheels with the polishing mop but these wheels are in very good original condition, so i'm keeping them like this for nowCoelacanth wrote:I'd be all over wet-sanding and polishing those wheels & shock bodies to a shiny gloss. Just my 2 centavos, anyway.

Re: Poor CAT
You'll be suprised what the Procat is capable when set up for the race track. I have really enjoyed the time I have spent driving mine at the track and Im sure you would too.
Great build and great resurection of what could have been a long forgotten fav.

I am going to drive this car (carefully!), just for the nostalga. When i retired my Cougar in 1991 i bought a second hand Procat and raced it for a couple of years. The local indoor carpet club that i started racing at in 1989 still runs to this day, so that's where she'll get her outing
