Nice job on the car ! FWIW, the plastic rear wheelhouse covers are "gold" (no pun intended) - very hard to find in good condition. Yes, Restoration Specialties is a great outfit - I used them on the '63 & '64 wagons I restored, and on other cars. Look for a little strap with barbed ends that...

"Poly" = metallic; one of my favorite Mopar colors. The '65 Belvedere photo is accurate. It does react to light. No red cast, it's more greenish on the color wheel. Here's a shot of my '63.

Love it - uncommon color, basic spec, pretty much how they were intended to be. Check rt side of engine about mid-point just above the oil pan rail for partial or full VIN, likewise one side of the trans above its pan (don't recall which side, long time since I've had an AT). Fender tag will...

Bought mine from Accurate Exhaust - they fit perfect & look true to originals.

Only the included lower body pinstriping, as shown in the '69 sales brochure.

Correct - I should have been more specific.

Yes - same for the '68s. Base model '70s had body color there, but the upgraded models continued the black-out.

I remember the hood treatments from when the cars were new - dealer lots and 2 buddies' cars - sheen was dead flat, and if you got any wax on it, good luck getting it off. I don't recall any metallic but definitely a roughness - something like sandpaper, like the suede interior finish - but...

I've done 2 early Bs with healthy RB 440s - a '63 and a '64 - both ran Performer RPM intakes & Holleys & drop base air cleaners, still had room.

Another great source is restorationspecialties.com - I used them on a couple Early-B builds, and they know their stuff.

Interesting car, and in the brochure-car colors - seems to be an early RR, but it has the '69-style pleated seat inserts (instead of flat Reed grain like 3 of my originals had), and yet the silver & black was '68 only. I guess Lynch Road was ahead of the other plants? Weirder yet, my current '68...

I've owned a couple '68 Hemi RRs, and did a ground-up on one of them. Saw that car for sale, and it looks clean & cool in photos, but a lot has been changed from stock. Besides checking for the VIN being RM21J8, it's seen enough mods (as many did) that it's not likely to be returned to original...

Base interior in silver & black got black carpet for 4-speeds, black rubber floor covering for automatics. Per original cars (owned 2) and the factory info.

The clips really grip - I start at the front and have often had to give the garnish a pretty scary yank down. A trim clip tool is handy.

B-pillar says it's either a Belvedere (RL21) or a Road Runner (RM21).

The '68 HT is coming mid-year, supposedly new tooling. MCW and Scale Finishes both have lacquer for air brush use, in pretty much any factory or other color you want. For windows and a lot of other stuff, Evergreen's Canopy Glue is a godsend. A good model-making forum/site is Mopars In Scale.

Factory correct color, including the aftermarket stuff, is what I do. To me it looks cleaner, neater, and is easier to keep clean. I also take the Edelbrock scripts off the intake.

#8 chrome plated phillips-head sheet metal screws, about 3/4" long IIRC. Stainless will work.

These 2 (at left) haven't seen water in 3 years (yellow) & 5 (blue) - but they live a sheltered life: they never see rain, dirt roads, or get parked under a tree. Never a night outdoors so far. I washed each one when they first came home - Meguiar's car wash soap - but since then, an occasional...
