MyBradKeselowski Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I'm not much for or into the big rims, but I like the 2-tone paint and your detail painting...

started on 24s Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Great start, Brad. I just bought a 1:1 1981 Monte Carlo. sorry new to models i know its a bigger model but whats the dimensions of a 1:1? i would love to find a bigger monte and do the same thing to so i can have a matching one for my car in the garage im working on??
diymirage Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 nice monte brad your way more focused on what your building then i am with the drawings and all so about that charger do you have a problem with the windows fogging up ? cos i just bought the wifey one of those (08 3.5 AWD) and it does it like crazy its managable with only one person in there but with 3 or more its almost impossible to see like driving an iglo
Harold Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Looking good for a first effort. I really like the paint scheme .
Greg Cullinan Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Brad it looks good with the dueces without a doubt. The 20's just dont cut it anymore Although I hear theres a real difference in handling between the two. Have you noticed? .I have dueces on a Expedition and its like there made for it. A 1/1 is your real car in model lingo.
