Great start! I started one of these years ago- using the MPC '69 Cuda as a base. I later sold it off, as I was bucks-up at the time and actually found a 1/24 diecast of the same car.

I think if you got ahold of an AMT '71 Duster, that would give you some things to work with. The Duster hood looks very similar to the Valiant Charger R/T's, as well as the windshield frame. The whole chassis and inner front fenders could be used from that kit, too. 

And the Hemi 6? I was going to start with the AMC straight 6 in the old MPC Pacer kit. 

Best of luck with this one!
