Johnny1973 Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Davin, You are doing great job on the General Lee.Keep up the good work I enjoy the pictures of the progress and the details that you are putting into it.
Danno Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 filler neck and spare are in..... Not quite. But close enough for confederate government work.
mopar01lee Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 Hey. Danno now I kw you hate GLs .. but thanks for that pic I've been looking for a good pic of the trunk mat ... I may even redo the filler neck.. Later days.... davin
Danno Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Hey. Danno now I kw you hate GLs .. but thanks for that pic I've been looking for a good pic of the trunk mat ... I may even redo the filler neck.. Later days.... davin Actually, I don't "hate" General Lees ... I just don't have much use for all the overblown BS hyperbole and trivia drivel that seems to flow whenever any orange car with an '01' on its doors turns up. And, I don't even "hate" the overblown BS hyperbole and trivia drivel. I just enjoy illustrating the absurd by employing absurdity. Besides, I am diligently planning to chronicle ad naseum my own "Most Detailed Ever Totally Scratchbuilt General Lee Build To End All General Lee Builds Ever" soon. I'm sure you'll be watching it closely and fawning over every single post! Regarding the trunk pic, that was from a secret source deeply embedded in the General Lee Nation. Okay, I confess: I just googled "General Lee trunk." Now you've got me giving away all my top secrets, sheesh! PS: Don't forget to whack out those roll cage extensions that don't extend into the trunk on the 1:1. Build on, confederate comrade! PPS: What the hey-hockeysticks exactly does 'later days' mean? I got no idea, but I've got money riding on it. Edited May 11, 2012 by Danno

Agent G Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I'm handicapping Danno's thread as we speak. I'll have the over/under soon. G
Danno Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Will your thread be hitting 40,000 views? Oh, at least! If I have to 'hit' on it myself 39,900 times to do it. (Not like that's never happened before! ) And build on ... confederate comrades! Edited May 11, 2012 by Danno
dieseldog1970 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Well.....after reading through this build, I have come away somewhat dissappointed! Building a highly detailed GL, and not even having a functional filler neck?? What is up with that Davin, you go to the extreme of having functioning lights when you open the console, but use a simple piece of plastic for the filler neck?? That is just plain sloppy!!! Hopefully Danno will be able to build the bestest GL ever, and Davin...you will have to forever live in his shadow!!! But seriously....despite all the frivolous you know what that went along the build...Davin, you have done one heck of a job!! My hats off to you for sticking with it and challenging yourself with all the PE and detail work!!! That is the first time I have seen someone use the PE MCG spring set, turned out looking really good!! I can't wait for your next build Davin, hopefully you can show us how to build and install a functional 8.4 touch screen in the Chrysler 300!!! LOL!!
mopar01lee Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Well thanks I think.... an the neck is aluminum. And I didn't have anough gas caps to cut up an make it open. I did think of doing it.. but I have several charger builds that need the gas cap .... lol Later days ... davin
