Thank you all for the kind and encouraging comments!

Here are the results of some Friday late night modeling - got the Roland's interior "cage" together, here seen with the engine mounts and bearers dry-fitted in place. Seat belts are HGW. The next task is to build the engine.

Something is visible in these pics that may be of interest to anyone planning on building one of these. There are no anchor points provided for the front seat's belts, the instructions merely showing them attached to the lower outside of the seat. The seemed rather random to me so I exercised some creative license and placed a .030" diameter Evergreen styrene rod underneath seat over which the belt anchors were slid. Note that this is similar to how the rear seat's belts are attached.

Components were already very nice on their own, now set together and caged make a great inside. Looking forward to the engine room build.

Very nice detail, Eric. That interior is really coming together.

Great work on the interior Eric. Good tip on the anchor points for the front seatbelts. I had the same confusion with the DFW but a differrent solution and have the Roland in m stash.

Cheers,

Just finished installing a Taurus resin timing gear set on my Roland's engine. First time I've ever attempted this and there was a point I thought I'd trashed it but after reading some posts here of others' experiences with these things I figured out where I was going wrong, was able to fix some mistakes, and get all the parts in place. It's not perfect but once painted and the rest of the engine parts are attached it should look fine. Definitely a learning experience! The next one will go smoother.
