I started this kit a few weeks ago. I got at at one of those Dec gift exchanges a few years ago. Not a bad kit, I've heard Heller wasn't too good. The instrument panel sucks. Just a flat piece of plastic with a decal sheet. But I did manage to find some good photos of a 1:1 car for some reference information to add some detail. Here are interior and engine shots. Thanks for looking.

You won't be able to see the fuel injection lines once the engin is in the car. It's a slant 6 just like the old Mopar slant 6. Now its Daimler-Chrysler anyway.

Looking good! The interior looks very nice!
Engine is fairly plain, but I like the detail you added.
