that would look great! but i'm probably going to switch the wheels out soon anyway...i'm looking for a set to match the ones in the photo up top.  fireball has a charger set that, with a little tweaking, could get me pretty darn close.

Fireball actually has Rally IIs that come with painting masks.

"Made a few tweaks - vinyl top, hood vents, exhaust tips, cut up the dash and added an 8-track player with some tunes, detailed the engine a bit, the aforementioned wheels, etc. - but it’s mostly right out of the box. "

You don't do yourself justice!  The level of detail and craftsmanship is extraordinary!  Beautifully done.

great work on the Bird, I have a "backburner" project to build a replica of a '68 I used to own.

I got some Fireball minilites to shoe the Bird with.

Spectacular build and thanks for explaining how you created the woodgrain which I initially thought were decals given the authentic appearance on the console.
