hello &  welcome

The car is originally a XP car. I found the car on craigslist around Des Moines Iowa.  It had the original 383 with 727 tranny. It was a triple green car and was partially restored.  What I thought was neat after going through the fender tag was that it had the white hat special code which I don't know if that is rare or not. I was gonna restore it to original condition except for paint but someone told me I might as well restore it to what I wanted so I could enjoy it.
So it is gonna get a B5 paint job with white interior and white vinyl top. I am also gonna R/T clone it with the badging and R/T stripes on the back.  I bought a rebuilt 1970 440 for it and am gonna put a 6 pack setup on top of it.  I know its not original but figured I would enjoy this setup better.

Welcome aboard and welcome to the best Charger community

Back in late 1968, a good friend of mine bought a new 1969 Charger R/T just like you are planning to do to yours.  It was B5 blue with a white vinyl top, white interior, and a whiter "R/T" stripe.  It was a gorgeous car!  You have chosen wisely!

A couple decades ago I was looking at an identical car to what you're building from Kentucky, had to pass on it since the owner would never take the pix I wanted, like he was hiding something.

Is the ND in your username North Dakota?  My best bud moved back home to Williston to take care of his Mom.  He was here last month & mentioned something about them finding another formation over there that's equal to or larger than the Balken?

Here are some update photos.
