Well, after looking at my 1:1 I realized I had done the bed of the trunk wrong. I removed what I had done, and using a piece of corrugated plastic I glued in the top of the gas tank. It isn't exact, but looks cool. I then used 2mm x .5mm strip to add the edges. Then glued on .03hex rod cut into tiny bolt heads in the correct spots, which are NOT eveny spaced and seem quite random. The filler tube is 2.5mm aluminum tube.
I am fixing issues as I see them with no rhyme or reason. I noticed the undercarriage had molded brake and fuel lines...
The are quite atrocious and had to go.
The fuel sending unit was also removed and replaced with a 3mm styrene disc.
In the back seat I noticed the front edge of the quarter panel was wrong. Using a 4.5mm square rod of styrene I reshaped it with a small plane then sanded smooth to this shape...
I cut to length then shaped with a file and sandpaper to fit then glued with Testors cement
To further the random sequence of events, I realized I needed something to which I could glue the door hinges. I measured how much room I had from the wheel well wall to the door support bar (in blue) then cut 2mm card (in red) to size and glued her in.
That is enough randomness for one post. I have in mind to start on the door panels now...

Your attention to detail is remarkable and why I don't do car models much or ship models for that matter. Gary S.
I road in the back seat of one of those things up in the mountains around Highlands. I don't think I can fit in one now.
Looks great Greg!
