Do you live in New Zealand.... hence the right hand drive cars? thank you i am glad someone got the reference it is ment to be a tribute to the 97 vanishing point tv movie and the song i chose is a reference to the year of the car since i do believe the actual song came out in 70 no i don't live in new zealand but i would love to live in australia as i love that country as for the right hand drive conversions it is cause i think the right hand drive layout looks the best and is the most logical design and the fact i am left handed 1

XYHARRY Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Cool Challenger there Michelle, I recently added the Revell 'street burner' kit to my stash and will definitely consider a white paint job for it as yours looks great. Well done Michelle.
