No problem Tubbs.
I didn't answer your question promptly because I had not visited the site for the past week. Just got back from a short vacation yesterday.

No word yet on the completion of the interior parts.
I received an update about a week ago, but at that time, he was just beginning the mold making process.
Will update when I hear more.

For those that might be interested, here are the sort of things that I've been working on lately with this project.
constructing a new oil filter.
Adding a vacuum advance to the distributor base.
adding some bracketry to the power steering pump.
Thinning the belts.
Adding new spark plug boots and wire looms to the valve covers.
Adding a dip stick tube to the block.
Getting the intake squared away with these wonderful "Fireball" carbs!

nice Steve. man that's some tiny stuff. always wanted to do the wire loom holders on the hemi valve covers, now i see it can be done. a great model builder i had the privilege to know well was Ron Cash. he told me to build a great model takes, time, patience and most importantly, treat each part as a build or an assembly, not just a part. this is a perfect example of his words. RIP Ron.

Thanks fellas!
Still ironing out some details for the Hemi.
The throttle linkage brackets were fashioned from pieces of flattened out aluminum tubing.
