Hello all,

This is what I've been busy with this week! Note this is like 90% complete, I still need to add a few decals here and there and trim my body posts...

Enjoy... ;)

Awesome car dude. Some of those shots makes the car look a lot bigger so it almost seems like a real car.

PS. I know where you live now.....

Very nice job WH. I think I should take up drifting rather - cause my lil heart breaks the very first time I use a new shell and some cowboy t-bones me. There goes the hours of masking, spraying, cutting out those lil damn decals, measuring up so your wheel posts line up with your wheels etc.

Done some nice jobs in my time if I do say so myself :) Best I think was my dual tone paint job - gold and black. Although the glossy black did pose a more of a problem than expected in the day/nights!

Too damn much man, too damn much! :P

Yup those are OG Drift Tyres, a guy I know down in Cape Town makes them, they are ABS plastic compound, so it's supper slippery, awesome for drifting! :D

LOL! It's the body posts, the are attached to the chassis, they keep the shell on the chassis! :P I still need to cut them shorter!

And as for the "Green Mamba"... ROFL! :P The Green Mambas colour is as unique as the car itself! :P

Nice meeting you BTW Mr. Boogey! :P

u guys are just jelous about my car :P

BTW, i thought those posts kept the roof from getting scratched if it landed on the roof. Maybe keep em long, could work well for that :)

Lol Haja! :D:D:D

Those posts won't really help for that, and you don't really roll your car when drifting on ABS plastic wheels... you slide! :P
