My vintage collection
Here's my vintage collection so far. I'm collecting all the cars I used to have as a kid in the 80's and early 90's. The Procat and Ultima Pro are the same cars I drove as a kid. I dug them out from my parents' attic and refurbished them. The bodies and decals are repro because the original bodies were messed up. One picture shows "display mode" and the other shows driving mode with disposable tires and wheels.
 The box art paint job for the Procat looks simple, but it's really difficult to mask. I'm also a little annoyed that the decals don't match the box art. :PThe Marui Big Bear is one I bought off Ebay a few weeks ago. I stripped the original paint, filled in a chip and a few crack in the body and repainted it. The decals are repro. It's missing the roll bar and roll bar lights, and the tires are driveable but a little aged, but other than that it's in really good shape. I also have a Kyosho Raider Pro on the way. Also from an Ebay-seller. I already have a new repro body for it here, painted and decorated in the same colors I had. The only cars missing from my collection after that is the Playtron Lynx, and the red Kyosho Beetle on road car. The Beetle was utter crap, so I don't really care about that one.

Thanks. I used to have white JC racing wheels, but replaced them with black ones and they look much better. Maybe I should add black side plates to the wing as well.
My Raider Pro will be here on tuesday.

My Raider Pro is here. The white body and decals are repros from BGT and MCI. Not completely happy with the decals as they are missing several colors in the gradient from red to yellow, but noone will know. It needs a few parts to complete it, but it's in ok shape. I found some original rear wheels on Ebay. The rear wheels are old Optima wheels and the tires are actually new rally tires that fit 1.9" wheels well.
Also, I have to show off the Procat again. I combined the box art body with the black JC wheels, and I think it's an awesome combination.

I would be interested to know what tires those are. Always nice to have some more options for 1.9 inch wheels. Both cars look nice. I like the Schumacher better as it looks in your first message, but this is also great.
