Schumacher CAT XLS resto
Hi all,
this is one of the other resto's i was able to complete this month. Thank you for all the great scans on the CAT (remember the design?) and hints on diffs. The color combo is that flashy i nearly wasn't able to capture it properly. Also thanks to bormac for the chassis and to Keith from Kamtec for supplying me with a proto body. I am still looking for schumacher decals, black wheels and shock hardware (seals etc...), PM's always appreciated.

Looks nice, very retro.
The old 'Schumacher' decal is being reproduced as we speak by a friend just hold on there
Whats Keiths repro body like, does it come with the spoiler? I couldn't see it list in his e pay shop or am I missing something?

Lovely car! I think the Kamtec repro looks great! I have one of the Schumacher re-run shells and yours looks every bit a good
For decals, speak to Jimmy Storey of oOple, he repros the decals.

Hi Jimbo, the bodies are not yet for sale, Keith offered me this one as aprototype for testing & review. Quality is superb.Jimbo wrote:Looks nice, very retro.

Re: Schumacher CAT XLS resto
that's awesome, and I agree Chrome wheels are the way to go !
I am just starting my re-build, and it's getting chrome wheels, and thanks to James I have a Schumacher body just waiting to get cut and painted !
oh, and James if you read this, I'd take a decal too !!

Re: Schumacher CAT XLS resto
BTW: i can recommend the reedy 3600 wolfpacks, as they are quite small in diameter and fit the schumacher battery trays etc...
