Very Pretty indeed... I'm not jealous at all lol! :D

As you say, original white wheels & two row stud front tyres will finish this off nicely. Will you paint up the shell?

lol, Yes, I just sent you 3 sets of front wheels, I did not plan on having a Schumacher again, I always seem to sell all my parts then need them again lol

Nice car you have there William,
I've started a thread asking for the difference of schumacher models, They have same reply saying that other version have "laydown shocks" at the front.
Now looking at your photos i know now what does it mean of "laydown shocks" :P

Nice Topcat, I love mine and the next one I have not built yet. I'd love to see someone with painting skill, not me, do a Top Hat Tuxedo Cat type paint theme. And then give me the body :lol:
