I am still looking for schumacher decals, black wheels and shock hardware (seals etc...), PM's always appreciated.

Well i was in my basement the other day looking at all my vintage cars and noticed my cat that was hanging from the rafters. Yes i would hang my old car i retired from my rafters dirt and all. It looked lonely so i pulled it down and broke out all...
I am very torn between these two for my next car and need some help deciding one way or the other. I am equally sentimental about both as I couldn’t afford either back in the day.
I am looking for a 4wd Classic to bash around with. As far as I can...

I'd like to own the CAT re-re, but my answer would still be the Javelin...regardless of criteria. 8)
I have been meaning to post some pics of my NIP CAT XLS build for a while now. So here we are. The build started with being one which was about 95% nip with the remaining parts being good condition second hand. However, I have since managed to...
