Gary I sold 2 Topcat's to Chad (Chiprandal) and i would say that he has swapped a few items around and you've ended up with a car made from the 2. I can't imagine why but thats what it looks like. Im still good mates with Cahd,I should ask what happened. In any case the car with the unpainted body would have been how yours started out. I love the Topcat's.

Despite my best efforts with this car its the 'ratio' of those pivot rockers thats the real problem. Even with the heaviest of coils and dampening the front end still feels too light at times. Not like the upright set up at all.
