There is a cork valve cover gasket and a balist resistor.   Im impresset.  that model is worth as much as my car.

For a true Mopar devotee, the most interesting aspect of this mini project car would be the engine and drive train. A set of machined aluminum spark plugs, a machined aluminum pulley, all belts and wiring, and the linkages were added to the Hemi engine from a '71 Cuda kit. The valve train was built completely from scratch and is visible on the driver's side of the car. The engine itself is Chrysler Hemi Orange and the other engine and drive train components are either aluminum colored or stainless steel.
