Hello from NW Indiana

[ChargerRTguy]

Hello, I wanted to introduce myself and say hi to all you fellow Mopar lovers. My son and I are currently restoring a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T that I purchased a number of years ago. The restoration was partially started by the previous owner, so we finally decided to finish it and enjoy the car. Since the previous owner did not paint it the correct color, we decided to go with black and re-create the "Assassin's" car from the Steve McQueen movie Bullitt.

Welcome to the site from Arizona.

I have given the stripe some thought and "tossed and turned" a bit on it. In keeping with the "Bullitt" theme, no stripe would be added. I will have white wall tires, so if I get board or change my mind, a white stripe would accent the tires, plus according to the fender tag it did have a white stripe. If I changed to red lines, then I would go with a red stripe.

love the 68s... even though mine is a General Lee, the 68 is favorite year of the Charger.

 

[ChargerRTguy]

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I was a "Duke" fan too, used to watch the show when it came out and have the latest DVD version. Was a hard choice of whether to go with a '68 "Bullitt" or '69 "General Lee". Being I saw "Bullitt" first long before the "Dukes" I already made up my mind. The 68-70 were all great years for that car. 6pktgo, I did setup another post "My 68 Charger R/T "Bullitt re-creation" under projects and I am posting pics of my progress.
