Bob...
The decals are a Fred Cady aftermarket set. Unfortunately he's out of business as of December 2006. I found this company that hopefully still carries the decals, from another maunfacturer thou.
The dipstick is visible to the naked eye. I tried to put as much effort into the details as I could.
I'm attaching some more detail shots of #28...
Here's the scratch built squirrel cage, kinda blurry, on the floor behind the drivers seat. This is connected to the rear axle scratched built oil cooler visible in the previous pics.
Vent tubes coming out of the rear left tail light blank, and a quick release fastener on the trunk lid.
A close up of the same two items. The tubes/pipes are made of aluminum tubing bent to the correct shape. The quick release is made of a small punced out circle of aluminum tape and some thin aluminum wire bent to simulate the lock pin and clamp.
The radiator surge tank is a scratch built item along with the scratched oil cooler as you can see in the following pics.
The retaining straps for the rear window was made from Evergreen sheet 0.05
Again, thanx for the cudos on my work.
