Great work - and very odd that DS would have missed many of those details.

Franklin Mint did the same in 1:24

photo no longer available

Above is the Franklin Mint 1:24 rendered the way the way Pete Chapouris restored the car after the movie (like the Design Studio 1:43).

Below - The car had been seriously abused during filming. Everyone was holding their breath when the stunt driver almost understeered into a pole!
