Like the ladeez keep telling you, size doesn't matter Bodgy. magnify
It's funny you put that up Luke, I was talking to someone earlier about that mustang for a drift car, or a '69. thinking
I've bought kits from them in the past, no problems. Lately I've been buying mine from hobby search cause they were cheaper, plus about 16 bucks for shipping and about 3 weeks to get here. Got my most recent order this week.
And given that drift cars don't have showroom paint I'm still planning three cars (top coat has always been my nemesis) Just gotta figure out how to do custom decals.

I had a major set back.....
I was, for those who didn't know, working on a HQ ute to make as a drifter and then albo could get his hands on what he has wanted. but.... the file corrupted while i was finishing up on the final pieces.... arrrggghhhh.
I have had to start again, fortunately, i saved the original file, so I am not back to square 1 but it is a major set back.. at least 2 weeks worth.
I do have a VE Maloo further along.... so 1 can expect a Holden ute of some denomination from me.
Not a traditional drifter but i've seen utes on the drift track.

Damm!! That’s a shame mate.

A VE Maloo would be sick tho. Seen a few VEs drifting and they look wild!! Josh Robinson just competed in the states with his this year.
