You are also missing the padded rear headrest and panel off the trunk hump.

there is fiberglass reinforcements on the inside, on both sides, almost like arm rest on door panels, and the hump it truck lid, head rest!! that's what the 2 holes toward the bottom were for, when I cut it out I had planned to use some wire mesh to put over it, but I left the holes.

do you happen to have taken any photos of those cars back in day, you can share or email them to me, possible any pics of the rides unless you mean small go kart track. yea fake gas cap figure when do a repaint find one more realistic, they designed it pretty good then the cap is like they got tired of designing and just threw it on. head rest and panel? 10-4 0n the head rest, panel are you referring to the section I cut out, did that to allow some air to go in and heat to come out but I left 2 holes along bottom area that were already there. so far you have the most info, but the one that I saw also used the frame I had? coincidence they are identical?
