Great stuff! It looks quite like a '68-'69 Charger.

In fact, that's a minor nit. The nose looks like a '69 Charger, but the
taillights look like a '68. The '68 had taillights that looked like this:

The '69 had wider taillights that looked more like this:

J.D.,
     I'm glad to see that someone out there knows his Chargers. I took a look
at your page and was amazed by it. Here is a page of mine that I want you to
take a look at. It ain't perfect, but it something that I put quite a bit of
work on.

A detail shot of the '69 model's taillights can be seen at

The nose is spot-on. The '68 was missing the center piece in the grille.
