desperate about my CAT 1 !! Finally happy !!
Re: desperate about my CAT 1
Hello. It is time to finish this project. Sold thank you at this point to Ian, give me a shock tower at a very fair price. As I have been advised, I stayed patient and waited until someone in the world has a SWB body for me. Months of search and then Mr.Lexan did it!!!! I ordered immediately and got really great product.
So I now make no mistake, I really need the help of Cat experts. How do I install the undertray the right way ? I can not find a photo that answered this question. She shell is screwed directly onto the base? Or spacers in between? I would be grateful for any help
best regards
michi

Re: desperate about my CAT 1
here a few pictures hope this helps, if you need some different angles just let me know the dimples in the lexan undertray are perfect the holes rarly line up so take note of this before drilling holes please.
Re: desperate about my CAT 1
Thank you! That helps a lot. I was afraid that I am missing parts.So there are no spacers between base plate and lexan.

With great patience. After lots of good advice. Now it's done! Today I can finally present my personal star of my little collection. Many thanks to Mr.Lexan and especially to Ian who sold me the rear shock tower. The rear wing is self made and after the painting the SWB in British racing green , I am now totally satisfied.
I hope you like the pictures and many thanks again !

That looks really great. Very nice job! For me personally, the SWB is still "the" vintage buggy to have and you have a great example there!

I like that wing myself, used one for this Marui Galaxy. Nice color choice on your Schumacher, you don't see British racing green too often!

Re: desperate about my CAT 1 !! Finally happy !!
Well seen! The wing was in fact an Associated " large " , but it was much too wide. Somewhere in this article, a member wrote the dimensions of the original SWB wing. So I have cut apart the Associated wing and take out about 2cm. Then I painted the three parts and glued the wing to one piece again .So, you're right .It is not a complete self-made, but extremely customized

Very nice indeed, I know the pain of trying to finish a SWB Cat. I ve only just finished mine today too.
Mine has Jays repro body set on and a TBG rear wing.

Wow! Very beautiful CAT family ! And you're right, although I missed not much ,the completion was a pain. At least in Germany, this buggy is incredibly rare. I have found not a single part in over three years in the bay. But now all is well and I think I will not try another CAT restore . One of my problems is , if I have to wait too long to finish a project, I buy too many other things in between

Nice, that's a cool mod of the wing, my hat's off to you. For once, I can call myself too lazy to mod a Lexan wing like that...I'd be too afraid it wouldn't hold up; but for a shelf-queen, it should be fine.michi wrote:Well seen!

Re: desperate about my CAT 1 !! Finally happy !!
I know what you mean But when I had the body shell, there was no excuse. When I finally dared to cut the body and decided on the final color ( has taken months ) , I had to deal with the wing. I think there is nothing worse than finish a wing. For some reason, it seems to me harder each time as to complete the body !
