Schumacher to Re Release the Cat XL!

Only problem with that theory is that everyone preordered early lol

I don't care how long it takes as long as it gets here, afteral how long has it taken some of us to source parts for resto or new parts builds, my resently finished new parts re built topcat took over 2 years to find all the parts and an absolute fortune in costs , so a couple of extra months for a complete kit ready to build is no issue in my opinion

Hopefully they don't rerelease the topcat as it will mean I wasted hours and hours sourcing parts for nothing

With an on schedule shipping date in july

Recently had the privlage of a guided tour round the factory, demand did far out weigh the expected numbers, and i watched a guy useing the original wheel moulds, on the original moulding machine moulding wheels one at a time, so the delay is going to be worth it, trust me, original mouldings, on the original moulding machine hand done, no modern fully auto machine for some parts and the mould dies do not fit in the new machines.

Your getting it done how it was originally done in cecils garage

Will also be a revised decal sheet.

Ha from the mounds that they said for years had been destroyed. They had to revise the decal sheet because that co*k at HPI pulled there agreement as soon as he took over
