|
|
A first shot at our '91 Caprice. The proportions aren't perfect; the roof is too wide, but making the windows+roof 1 stud narrower disturbs the side lines; the front and rear overhangs need to be about 1/2 stud longer, which might also accomodate (...)

(...) It's a two-year-old Dell model from a previous PC. The only thing I don't like about it is the stupid interface for adjusting its settings (there's three buttons and one dial to do everything--it's incredibly cumbersome). As soon as good 22" (...)
