Per the picture of the engine in the booklet, (which we'll return to again!), in the first four pics you can see where I've corrected the kit air cleaner with Evergreen styrene sheet & strip, to make it larger, give it a smooth top & get it more like the one used on the actual car.

The next two pics shows the 1/1 front fender & where I removed the additional material AMT had to add to the front fenders of the Dart/Duster kit to keep them from drooping when removed from the mold. The removal of the material was done to replicate the correct look of the 1/1 car. Further into the build I'll show the other changes I'll have to make to get the front of the car down like the 1.1 was. The Dart's body is on the left, molded in gray, & the Duster's is on the right, molded in white.

The next series of pics show where the fuel overflow tube was located in the trunk lock location of the 1/1. As seen in the pics, an aftermarket overflow tube has been added, & will be joined by an aftermarket dry break fuel filler in the left quarter panel. Again for comparison, the Dart body is on the left & the Duster body is on the right.
