Awesome job!  I'll bet you're glad you didn't sell it.  I've never heard a story about how glad a guy is that he sold a certain car...
To answer your question, Tire Pressure decal on my original is 1" below the bend in the metal, below the door latch, in the driver's door opening on the quarter panel.  Also, I have 3" polished stainless, generally stock-looking tips on my TTI exhaust, I could post a pic is you needed it.  Tips came from a different source, I'd have to find the receipt.

I wouldn't say there is much to "nit pick" at. I just think they look naked without their wheel opening mouldings,but others prefer them without. I'm pretty sure it's much nicer than anything I will ever own. Unless my numbers hit!


well look at that several people agree with me! OMG! But since one of them is Chris, i change my mind, it's perfect as it is...  :cheers:

I'm kidding, it cool to see an orange '69 with a tan inteior with out goofy decals all over it...  :nana:

what color should the bottom of the doors be?..  :shruggy: Tan?..

Great looking ride.

Oh and since you asked on the first page of this thread, and I didn't see any answers to your question I'll chime in. The tire pressure decal goes on the back side of the door jam, on the drivers side. Below the latch. Not sure if I'm doing a good job of explaining it, but if you open up the drivers door, and look on the right side, under where the latch is, that is the proper location for the tire pressure decal.

Wow, very nice.
I had to put on some sunglasses when staring at the paint job.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Thank you gentlemen I appreciate all the kind words!
1)after consulting with my chief mechanic (see attached pic) we have this response: the colour on the bottom of the interior doors is supposed to be...Go ManGo - why? because I wanted it that way. LOL .....
2) I am probably going to Moparfest this weekend, whether Claudia will be ready to go is debatable but we'll see
3) I am going to go witht the "magnum" exhaust tips -- actually I could probably get them at Moparfest...................add them to the list...
4) If anyone actually has a pic of where the tire pressure decal goes I'd appreciate a post.

Anyone else going to moparfest for sure??

Yikes! Good eye! I didn't see that until you mentioned it.

Ya know what though, it kinda works. It flows right down from the curve of the rear bumper. Looks good in profile too.

I'd like to see what's filling the gap though.

Pete, I'll definitely be at MOPARFest on Saturday - it doesn't look like I'll have a car in the show like I planned, though.
You can defeinitely get exhaust tips at the swap meet. Lots of venders will have them there.
I'll have a black moparnuts.com t-shirt on.

Yep, I'll stick with what I said in your other post...drive it around for a while before you decide whether or not to sell.

Problem is, it's too perfect to drive!

That's probably just due to the repop valance corner pieces not fitting quite right...that one little problem the manufacturer has no intention of fixing. ::)
This car appears to have a similar problem. Looks like maybe the body guy rolled the edge of the 1/4 in to meet the corner piece...
