About a year ago I completed a PL 65 Dodge which I believe is the basis for the current AMT kit. More...

The detail was good though not quite up Moebius level (better than the classic MPC). Keep in mind that the inner fenders and radiator support are molded as part of the interior floorpan, though this may not be an issue if you use the PL interior. A potential bonus is that the PL wedge V8 had the Max Wedge exhaust manifolds and an optional Max Wedge dual carb intake. Hopefully the same parts are present in the current AMT edition. My complaint was due to it being a prepainted kit, the hood was a slightly different shade of yellow than the body and the firewall ( a separate part ) was not painted - it was tan (same as interior).

If you choose a Lindy 64 you may need to do some wheelbase matching, the 1:1 Dodge B bodies shrunk from 119 inches to 117 inches from 64 to 65.
