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.

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 I was going to use these wheels on something else, but i just couldn't resist how they look on the buggy.

What a fantastic job you have done here. Congratulations on having a very desirable Pro-Cat. I love those wheels!!

The alloy wheels really add the finishing touch to the cat, wish i had a set for mine.

I'd be all over wet-sanding and polishing those wheels & shock bodies to a shiny gloss. Just my 2 centavos, anyway.

Thanks for the comments.

It makes me smile when i look back at the pictures of how the buggy started off.. with that lovely hummer shell

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 now

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
