  • This is my first attempt at customizing a 1:64 diecast. Usually people say Hotwheels or Matchbox, but this one wasn't. It was an old General Lee I've had for many years, probably produced in the late 70's to 80s sometime.
    Over the years it has taken a beating. The wheels where flat, if it was still there, the body was damaged, and it had been painted over by me as a kid with liquid paper, then probably nail polish or something?
    Surprisingly some of the original orange paint remained. Nothing I could do about restoring the right window frame, but I dropped it in some paint thinner for a few days, ordered some decals, bought some paint and had a go at making The General Lee into a Monster Truck.
    I had the idea to convert this years ago, but I do know Hotwheels released a Rodger Dodger similar to The General in 2019. I have that one, but this was something I wanted to do, instead of leaving it rotting as a crush car underneath one of my Max-D 1:64's.
    It turned out decent, not great. The decals fucked it up, or I did, buying the wrong color orange. I might fix it in future, for now, fuck it!
