Here it is in DupliColor Claret Red:

This is a MOPAR color, but not exactly from 1969.
I did a little detailing on the wheels:

A mock-up to check the stance:

Looks pretty good, to me.
The tail stripe is from Keith Marks. It's made for the incorrect side marker lights on these kits. I didn't notice that problem until after I painted the body. He also makes a tail stripe decal for those who make the correction on these marker lights.

I got the interior finished:

I bent a sewing pin to use for the shifter. Embossing powder makes up the carpeting.
The gauges are from Best Model Car parts. i drilled out the kit gauges, and applied these from
behind the dash with TESTORS Clear Parts Cement.

It's not perfect, but it's better than how I did it back in 1990!
Here it is:

This is not a super accurate kit. There are a few problems with it. I had a little decal trouble, too.
I had one on the air cleaner, but when I installed the engine, the decal took a walk!! LOL
