NASCAR Next Gen tips wanted!

[dawgvet]

Hello, I am looking for detailing tips for the JR Salvino’s Next Gen NASCAR kits.
 

I have been building on and off for several years and am familiar with the older style cars. I would like to know what details you guys like to add and how to add them. 
 

I like detailing engines some but I know the engine is hard to see in this kit. I have still added plug wires and boots. I am also likely plumbing oil lines in the engine. 
 
How do you guys add oil lines to the chassis? What other chassis details do you like to add? 
 

For the interior, I’ve seen one guy recently made a switch box and I like that idea. Does anyone have a template for the dash cover to make from sheet styrene? What other interior details do you all add?

Any other general Next Gen tips appreciated too! 
 

Thanks Again

I think that Randy Ayer's NASCAR modeling forum is still around. I used to go there some years back. Those guys would be best to ask.

Mark J did an outstanding job building one of these kits.  Within his build is a computer generated video on how the systems on these cars work.  Here is the link.

Jim, I forgot all about that wip. Seems like a million years ago. Shows me that I need to clean up my workspace for my current build. It's getting way out of hand. The longer I spend on a build the messier it gets.

Mark, if your workspace isn't messy, you aren't doing anything.  At least that is what I convince myself.

Good, I'm too lazy to clean it up. Just shove everything to one side and make a space to work.

I thought it was just me.
