If you are going to flip the car then go ahead. I used a kit and I believe it was called Marehide on my Challenger panels. Looked good for a while but it can scratch and you can see the other color in the scratch. I used there primer and dye paint. The repop panels were not around then. I have since gone and bought the new repops. They are not 100 % but do look pretty nice in a car with white interior.

Also do the kick panels stay black I'm thinking so. Yes, white interior E-bodies have black kick panels, which match the black dash and carpet.

I pulled the blue interior out of my Challenger Convertible and bought a 1970 white interior minus the door panels and back panels used.I dyed the panels fronts from black to white and the back blue to white and the color was a bright white.It was brighter than my factory white panels for my hard top but they are 1971 panel with the original color on them and might of faded a little. I have since bought new Blue Panels for the Convertible and might change back to blue in my convertible. I still need to buy new blue interior. I like blue exterior with white interior, car came blue with blue interior.

When you end up dyeing painting your panels it tends to fill in the wood grain alittle. The wood grain would toss some shadows on the panel making it look a little darker so refinishing them will bring them up brighter. I would not worry about it not being exactly like the Color dodge made them it will be close and likely your wife is going to spill and drop stuff on the panels and they will get darker real quick.
