    The show was more about the car and occasionally the other cars on there.
    I watch older movies almost nightly from the 50s to 90s just to remember how it was back then.

      Apparently your memory is quite faulty because the car in The Dukes of Hazard was a 1970 Charger not a 1969 Charger. There are several differences between the two starting and with the fact that there was no visible line in the center of the hood and the body around the headlights does not come to a peak on the outside edge

      ​@@Restorations4U the horn was genuine, not an effect, in first season when they filmed entirely on location in Georgia. You could get the kit for about 30 bucks to just play Dixie or get one you could program to play anything your musical talent could input notes for, for about 50. The producer did not know and paid some local kid 200 bucks for his 30 dollar horn.

    When i was a kid i loved models ,even after i started working in a body shop at 19 i continued to build until my wife had a horrible accident when i was 23.
    After that i kinda went nuts and dropped the models.
    Still i had to work and ive built many muscle cars in my life.
    I enjoyed the process it was mind soothing and the satisfaction was immeasurable.
    I enjoyed watching this almost as much as the real thing.
    Your attention to detail is amazing.

    Great job restoring it. I thought for sure with all the detailing effort you put into the interior you might have actually wired up the new motor with mini wire harness. That would be cool to see, did a 1969 Super Bee many years ago and even wired the engine with fuel lines, spark plug wires and so forth. I owned the real Bee and my model was a near mirror image of the one i owned. I miss that car :( . But great job, thumbs up 🙂

    Did you know that the true color of the General Lee was not the Flame red Corvette color ? Close match but the real color was never a factory choice or color . The true color of the General Lee is TNT Express . Yup it was a paint color used by a shipping company on its delivery vehicles . My Step Grandpas sons job back then was painting General Lee cars for the show .

    As somebody who was born in '75 & spent their Friday nights watching this show from their highchair because Friday night was pizza night, AND went through many toy cars thst you restored, this vid made me very happy. Fantastic work on your part! Do you have a downdraft paint booth?

      Born just a few years after you and watching The Dukes of Hazzard with my family was so much fun. It's more of a side draft at the moment, my friend.
