Thanks fellas I guess I should of took pics of the rear oil tank area it was really quite delicate with even nice straps that hold the tank as will as all lines.The oil sump underneath was much the same with lines moulded in with rubber/hose clamps present.I will see if I can more of those things after I weather the area some and highlight.

Thanks Guys Well I have been working the pit over some and some of my pics of late have not been so great I guess its time to experiment again I got the side camera in place and I think it looks good to scale I would give myself a 90% here if graded.The mistake I see is that I could of moved her back another 4 scale inches possibily.

I had to cut off the pour stub from the back of the oil tank so off the engine came



The floorboard



the sidewalls poor pic



and the side camera mod just blending her in alittle more
