this is my build of the dirty unrestored general lee from the begining of the 2005 dukes of hazzard movie
this is a parts box build as every piece came from my various parts boxes except for the cb annenna as that is a flat head pin that i sanded the point down on so it would not be sharp and i hand painted the 01 on the door
i painted the body rust oleum 2x gloss real orange and did a top coat of rust oleum 2x matte clear
then i mixed up a weathering spray which was made from dissolving apple barrel matte chestnut and apple barrel matte nutmeg brown and apple barrel matte jet black acrylic craft paints in warm water inside a empty windex spray bottle and then spraying the body with it and then letting it sit before dabbing away the excess
then i ran two different shades of brown crayola fine tip markers across the body and let sit and then wiped and dabbed it away
then brush painted deco art matte clear varnish over the body to make the body matte again

Cool idea to build it all dirty as it was often that way at the end of a chase scene. Well done Michelle. 

Cheers, 

David. 😎👍
