Junkman Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ...the one kit I wished they had done but didn't do was the Boss Hogg Caddy convertible. That one is dearly missed indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPflug Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yes, I did it deliberately just to avoid anybody getting the wrong idea. Red X on the second pic I'm sure a few very wrong ideas are now floating around..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Red X on the second pic I'm sure a few very wrong ideas are now floating around..... I still see it...a box of cigars. I enjoy a cigar once in a while w/ a single malt scotch or dirty vodka martini...probably going to partake in one next weekend at my company holiday party, since there is a cigar bar at the resort the party is at...

revshag Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 LEE 3 was the original hero car when filming first began. It was a 1969 R/T SE Charger with a factory Tan interior, black carpet and headrests. It had a 440 Magnum with 727 auto tranny. It was also an A/C car with power windows. The Generals were first painted Hemi Orange. It had a dummy rollbar with padding painted to match the interior. The engine bay was painted black. Building any faithful representation of the General from the 1/16 Kit will involve A LOT of scatchbuilding along with swapping out the Hemi for a 440. Don't forget the crossed flags (confederate and checkered) on the Dutchman panel behind the rear window as this was on the original Georgia-Era cars. The later hero cars had a sheet metal firewall cover and a lot of chrome. If you want more info, I'm a huge Dukes/General fan, so shoot me a PM.

Harry P. Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'm not sore who is worst, the other member trying so hard to brake the habit or Harry braking his own boss's rule with just posting a smiley icon himself. (LOL) I'm doing my dang-est also to not post a smiley myself in my reply's. I don't remember seeing any rule about posting emoticons.

Harry P. Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 How about a prize to any moderator savvy enough to realize that the username associated with the illegible babble is totally inappropriate for this forum? Sorry... I must have missed your appointment as the guy in charge of deciding what user names other members can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 No hard and fast rule Harry, but we did discuss it a few months back. Gregg informed us it does waste more bandwidth than you would think and he would rather we not post if all we have is a smiley. This is the first I've heard of it. Suddenly Danno's "insert emoticon here" schtick makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbox55 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 . The Generals were first painted Hemi Orange. That's a common misconception. The early Lees were painted 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Flame Red, usually right over whatever color the car was originally. Later cars got a primer and basecoat for more consistancy in the color.
