[QUOTE="chasingomas, post: 1587810, member: 31094"] well fuck it, I'm trying. My car and build have a thread :) 1999 mustang gt, Max-effort street car drift build. link: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/blackjack-nat-loves-dream-my-1999-gt.88279/[/URL] My big question right now is, where do I draw the line?
