My Dream car "General Lee" project

[Hazzard Lugnut]

Here are some pics oh my project "General Lee". I know The GL was a 69 but they also used 68's and filled the side markers in and changed the grille . I didn't want to fill the side markers in but I did want the correct 69 tail lights so I changed the tail panel.

"Wow" that looks great, I love the General and am building a 69 Charger (not a General). My daughter (7) is a huge Dukes fan so I installed a Dixie horn just for her, it sounds perfect and plays all notes unlike some so if you still don't have one I can dig up where I got it. Congrats

Have been a fan of the GL since it first came out. Yours looks great with the Cragars. They also used 70 chargers too.

Thanks roadrunnerman I have always wanted a General Lee and I thought that I would change it a little with the chrome mags, they are a off brand Torque Thrust type , I think they look cool

Gotta say I used to not be much of a fan of GL clones but I recently picked up watching the show and enjoy the hell out of it, and have always loved the "build it your way" philosophy. That being said, you've got a gorgeous Charger and looks like you've been doing some awesome work! :icon_thumleft: And like everyone's saying, very cool to have your son putting in some wrench time with ya keep up the great work and you'll be bangin gears in no time!

I agree with Speed 100% with "build it your way"! And with your son beside you doing this, its something he will never forget, I hope maybe you do a video when you get the old gal up to where you want it!

Will, Thanks for the video! From one of the Good ole boys.. HE Haw!

As a kid in the 70's I loved that show and hearing the opening credits and the sound of the engine as that Charger ran around in Hazzard County being chased by Roscoe P Coltrane .. Catherine Bach wasn't bad either
