Thanks so much man and that's awesome your building one too! You can find the clip and behind the scenes clip on YouTube just search dukes auto trader. There's not much different from what I see. The movie car used a 426 hemi. And the tire white walls are showing, instead of them being reversed. Also for the front grill they keep the walrus teeth on it for the movie and tv show/ auto trader has them off. One of 2005 general lee movie car is for sale on eBay motors right now for $50,000 if you wanna see pics. The auto trader clip just shows the car almost exactly how it was in the tv series. Engine I'm not sure what they used. Cheers, Byron

Looking forward to seeing this progress

I'll test fit and take pics as I get more built. It will be the first time doing plug wires. I wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

I don't see how you guys age these things. I can age guitars but not models. Great patina/ survivor look!!

Thanks brother, she will be being buffed and waxed here soon

This looks incredible great job!!

Thanks bro!

Right on!! What kit was these unmarked car from( silver) I need to make some for my general lee diorama

It's a beauty very nice build to watch as well. Nice job!!

I too have the same question about resin bodies I. General. Do most of them have a little more accuracy?? Also I think this would be cool with the factory blue, black top, and white interior. Cheers, Byron

Great start. Judging by the parts, and the color of the chrome is this Tamiya, or Fujimi?

Well just order a detail master distributor kit, I'm going with orange plug wires. Ordered a pin vise. Ordered some vector rims that are even more accurate then the eckler corvette kit. And tires from the same source. I've never ordered a distributor kit, do they come with little instructions? Happy modeling, Byron

Thanks man! Yea it def took time to do

Haha well that's great you don't hate it. I'm not the biggest fan. But I was cool seeing them get back into it, for that auto trader commercial.

Thanks so much Carl!

Is the guy from the unmarked car Brad? Lol I was looking at some online and that's the name of one of them

You did a way better job then I could do on figures. I've never done any before either. And I'm not sure I know the Victoria police was the first to use two way radios but that wasn't on the person at least I think haha

Sweet!!! Looking!! Really looks the part especially with the figures

Looks great engine looks nice! Nice crisp lines on the wheels. And crazy masking for the seats they look great as well as the interior and chassis nice work so far!

Oh haha well now I know for future jokes Thanks man haha

Wanted to show the back and the diorama. Also the dio is a work in progress. Happy modeling.

Here's some pics after the sun is a bit more out. It was earlier in the day for the pics earlier.

Thanks Stan

It's been a cool and fun project so far. Although chargers aren't my favorite. They are definitely pretty cool to build. Having a general in your stash of builds is always cool. I plan to make a cool diorama for this too! Gtx is a hard toss up. Depends if you want to do your own style, or follow something. Cheers, Thanks, Byron

Here's the paint list so far for the body, and body parts. 1 good even coat of primer on everything. About 4 light coats of Competition Orange for everything. Body was buffed out after 48 hours with Novus 2 polish. As so the hood. Then 3 light coats on the front valence and rear panel with Testors Glosscote. 2 light coats on the body followed up by 1 wet coat. On clear I allowed 10 mins in between the first two coats. Then 15 minutes after that I applied the 3 light coat and 1st wet coat. Also the hood was taped on to allow even coverage of clear. The clear over the Flat Black, allows it to have a matte look. The paint dried pretty good with nothing in the paint except a time piece of hair on the hood. Which luckily it landed on it after the wet coat. So now all I have to do is lightly wet sand the mark away.
