Wel lDoc and friends, in my attempt at using my google phone's camera, New Years, my video production class 300$ kodak walked away. So, heres the interior during touch-ups. I hope they load better. When I grabbed a tissue to wipe my brush it was stuck to a small piece of my amt freightliner chassis and it rolled right off the desk, a "Rubber Duck esque crash into the dogs water bowl. thankfully I am adept at Glueing things properly only 1 wheel popped off and the rear axel, which is 30 second fix, especially after the juggling to get that chassis together, Oh, Just Bill, those wheels are the basic 13"x7" thin white wall pegasus sells for 9 bucks, sory no part# handy. and remeber saturday he Steelers are gonna feel TEBOW TIME! lol.TimTebow_5.jpgIMG_20120103_234251.jpgIMG_20120103_234239.jpg

Lookin good so far.

Bill, the rims Are Pegasus 1109's. If you're looking for just the tires they are Pegasus 520's (part #1016). They actually scale out to a 15" wheel.

Thanks JamesW. I got a few sets of the 520's and at the same time of ordering I got a few sets of 1113. They appear to be they same except the 1113's are deep dish so I will be getting some of the 1109's. I was surprised to see the 15inch scale out. Does Pegusus make a 13inch? Thanks again. Oh and donkeypuncher, I'm with you on the Broncos. I hope they smear the Steelers. Just make sure you keep that enthusiasm when you all have to face the Ravens!! The Monti is looking good bro. I have the same kit and was apprehensive about going lowrider with it. After seeing yours I'm reconsidering.

That is a beautiful radical monte. It would take me years to try and accomplish something like that. I would prolly get burned out on it and end up hating the thing!

The only 13's available are resin. They were mastered by a guy named Jevries. Not sure if he is on MCM but he's on layitlow.
