Thought i would share my PT mopar

I will upload many more pics from the build but here is a few to get started.

I bought the car 2 years ago with a love for Gen 2 chargers since i was a kid seeing the duke boys. i originally loved the 69 until i saw the 68 and then fell in love with that.
my car came home with a bone stock 440 and 4 speed with an open rear end, body was restored 7 years earlier while car was still in the states and the original owner had a 528 blown hemi in it, wish that was still in the car.

my first drive of the car with the manual brakes and manual steering scared the **** out of me, so i spent the next few months researching handling and performance mods and researched a bit more into the pro touring side of things as i had never heard of it, plus i had always seen alot of PT chevy's on ebay and thought they looked pretty cool but i rarely saw a mopar, probably because the parts are not as readily available and not as cheap. so i decided to take the PT route while still keeping someof the originality of the charger as no matter your brand you must admit the lines of a gen 2 charger are beautiful.

so here is the list of things i have done to the car in the past 2 years:
