That cat was used in old Schumacher manuals, sometimes just for fun, sometimes to bring special attention to a tricky build step or provide a helpful tip.

From the Bosscat manual:

Made a few changes..went with an E16 engine and 17t pinion....success...44mph

This little guy was just hanging out so I snapped his pic. They seem to be fairly uncommon to most of the USA, anyone else got Rock Chucks? Basically a 10 pound squirrel

Not sure why it's sideways, click pic and it squares up...thing looks soft

I don't mean this to be a sad story, but I spent the morning helping a very old friend clean up his mom's basement. His brother who passed away way too young a couple of years ago had his bedroom/studio down there. Whole place was pouring classic 80s punk. Couldn't help but share.

Great write-up! I was 13 when I saved up enough money to buy this kit. It's actually kind of wild to think back on how this single purchase developed skills that would guide me down paths in both my personal and professional life for the last 42+ years. I have 2 ebay finds in my collection. One will...

Got into the decals. Pretty much a Greenwood Corvettes tribute theme. Actual colors came out a little more "Hot Wheels" than I think I like, but overall good with it. Still need to correct some paint issues, and get into the bumper, and should wrap it up.
