Here you go, your car does not have the wide side stripes like the R/T. But it does have some white stripes, pin stripes, i do not have a picture handy to show you, but i also have pictures showing the gold interior and a NOS gold 8 track dash piece. :bigsmile:

Welcome
 You are definatly making good progress with the car  :2thumbs:
When you install the exhaust manifolds do not use gaskets , they will cause a leak , just use a small amount of high temp silicone & bolt them on

I love it just how you have it now! Congrats...IMHO, a rear gull wing (not go-wing) or T/A rear spoiler might add something to the back of the car.
