A good portion of this is going to be scratch built! I've made a better dashboard, made corrected grill, and since there was never a 426 hemi in it I've had to make a proper set of heads and intake manifold, the seats I've corrected as well as rear seats that I'm making and the list goes on! Will be posting pics soon.

Great, Tim can build a flying relic!

Peter Hardy
Only kidding Tim. I know the General Lee couldn't fly! Wasn't real flash at landing either as I recall. Hope you are going to do it with an opening bonnet, be a waste if I can't critique the engine details!

Yes peter the bonnet will open to show all the hard work I put into it! and a teaser, the car will be in action!

That was my favorite show as a kid. Last year, stopped for gas at a little roadside middleon my way to Quebec City and there was a General Lee and a Hazzard County Police car in the parking lot...

Peter Hardy
I liked it too but I wasn't watching for the car, it had more to do with Daisy I think. Tim, can you put Daisy checking under the bonnet?

Show facts. There was over 300 chargers used, 68's, 69's and 70's! only 17 are rebuilt, 3 by the actor of Bo Duke, and there is a handful in wrecked conditions. They broke about 70 stunt jump records doing the shows. only 3 or 4 had a complete roll cage in them, the others had just roll bars. Peter...I was looking for 1/16 figures but couldn't find any. I do have 1/25 ZZ Top band members and 3 girls!

Peter Hardy
I think Konrad and Iwould be perfectly happy for you to scratchbuild your first 1/16th figure. I can see those cut offs now.!
