Restoration 1969 Dodge Charger for The Duke Boys
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2024
- Restoring this 1/18 scale 1969 Dodge Charger diecast model with a modern twist on the power plant using a 392 supercharged Hellcat engine. Watching the Dukes of Hazzard and seeing the iconic General Lee Charger when I was young is probably some of what started my love for all things automotive. Like, share and comment. Special thanks to Jason from Outlaw Paints!

heritage, not hatred.
The Duke boys would be proud
Thank you
Wow what a video thanks a lot😊
Most welcome 😊
Love the General Lee! Excellent job!
I've always loved the General Lee and you did an awesome job on this.
Thank you kindly!
That was incredible to watch!
Thank you
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.
I'm extremely happy with your attention to detail. This car is exactly how I remember it while watching the Dukes every week. 😂❤❤😂
I really appreciate you saying that. Comments like this keep me motivated.
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
@@thewatcher6794 incorrect
@@thewatcher6794even if you are somehow soooo misinformed to actually believe what you just said, GOOGLE is your friend. EVERYBODY who was ever even the slightest fan knows the general was a '69. the '70 had the wraparound front bumper and no grill center piece. dude, just look up some pics before you embarrass yourself further.
@@richardhively3085 being that I was actually there I have no need to research it even though I have watched many docu series about the show and the most important character of the show The General Lee,try actually watching the show and stop looking everywhere else, the hero car was a 1970, pay attention to the scenes where the car is not moving because that is the real general lee
A wonderful & awesome restoration of a beloved & cool car, done by a truly talented and gifted restoration artist
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
@@Restorations4U 👍👍
God.. I miss this. I miss the show.
Me too
The show still comes on regular TV if you have a converter box or in my area at least but the flag is blurred out
The Stars n Bars FOREVER
Awesome job.
Thank you
На такого мастера и подписаться не стыдно, сразу видно что человек работает с душой а не ради смайликов и лайков.
Спасибо большое за Ваш комментарий. Вы правы, я люблю их строить.
That's one way to make the Brush Guard
Thanks
Good car
Awesome work! I loved watching that show when I was a kid.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another absolutely amazing video!
Thank you
Hands of a surgeon fantastic patience and eye to detail stunning
Wow, thank you
All that dirt and crud "rust"..... but look at the nice shiney screws holding it together
Very good work, congratulations friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice classic car nice work. ❤😊
Thank you
That's so sweet and very awesome to see
Thank you
Love the fact that you hellcat swapped a model charger👌
Seemed like in 2024 the Dukes would have needed the HP.
Indeed so👍
Hellcat. Lmfao. You must be a youngster.
That's how some folks refer to the 392. Like how us older people used to hear guys say "a Corvette motor".
Did you mix your own paint? When I redid my original 1:25 scale ERTL General Lee, I found some airbrush ready 1975 Corvette Flame Red online (also gave me an excuse to buy an airbrush). What scale is this? How old is it? It looks beautiful!
Incredible!!! Looks like it’ll straighten some curves!!
😎😁
And flatten some hills?
I love the flag on top
Wanted it to be how I Remembered the show.
Marvelous restoration!
Thank you
For the Dukes autotrader commercial, instead of trading in their General for a Viper they should've shown them Hellcat swap it.
I agree
Fuckin 440 time
I would've kept the old general lee and the new Dodge viper.
Looks like ya went ALL in on the tools Dude!
Stuff we couldn't afford when I was a kid in the 80's
Not even Flash would piss on this beauty!
👏👏👏👏
lol thank you
Keep it up!!!🔥🔥🔥
Will do!!
Fantastic work!
Thank you
This'll show them Duke boys...
😎😎
Very impressive. Beautiful work.. keep up the great work👍👍😁😁❤❤
Thank you very much
Excelente trabajo!!!
69 Charger is my favorite mopar, nice work!!!
My favorite also
Great video and content, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice!
WOW JUST WOW
thank you
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 🙂
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to tell the story of your own.
Beautifull! Amazing job! 🏎️
Thank you
Awesome job 👍
Thank you
Picture CBS on Fridays in the 1970s.
8:00pm The Incredible Hulk
9:00pm Dukes Of Hazzard
If A new Dukes Of Hazzard movie is made, feature a new Dodge Challenge, and show the original 1969. Now we're talking pure cinema magic!
😎😎😎😎
A ghost from the past
Thank you
This was absolutely fascinating to watch. Very cool! Well done!
Thank you for the encouragement
I really enjoyed this video, general Lee is my dream car, brilliant job on this one, as a model builder i can really appreciate the work that went into this project 😊
Thank you
Awesome job buddy, love the show. Love the confederate flag 😊
Very nice restoration looks fantastic 👌 ❤🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺👍😎👀
Thank you for your comment.

WOW! Perfect work and restoration! Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
@@Restorations4U You're welcome!
NICE! 😎👍💯
Great build. Try using Micro Sol for your decals as they'll look like they were painted on 😊
Very good point, thank you
Cooter would be proud, and amazed.
Thank you.
Excellent work as always 👏👏
Thank you

Thank you
Restoration General Lee that's going to be awesome😅
😎👍🏻
Hella job my favorite car of all time 🎉🎉
Thank you
Awesome. 🤙
Thank you
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.
Do you build the whole kit with the 3d printer.
Sorry to hear about your wife. No, just the engine was made with the printer. Thank you for watching.
Congrats
Thank you
AWESOME! Looks Great! 👍
Thank you
Great job and patience i enjoyed watching u repair this car like a junkyard car ❤ it 😊
Comments like these mean so much to me. A lot of people don't realize about 80 hours goes into this process. Thank you.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you
Wow, what amazing work.
Thank you sir
you will get a lot of hate for this one but i love it awesome job
Thank you
Beautiful job!!
Thank you
Man! Now I have to watch The Dukes of Hazzards!
Nice new toy, too!😀
Where did you get your screw driver set? Love it!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I will post a link.

☺️
инструмент тоже класс👍💗
Nice work only you missed/forgot about one critical detail. The General Lee was a racecar and as such racecars (as the General Lee was) have roll cages in them.
You are not wrong. The horn sound effect is missing also.
@@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.
Sorry, I meant effect as in adding in during the edit.
@@Restorations4U Ah, my error.
Amazing work congratulations friend!
Thank you
I love this biuld
Thank you
How do these models always get so muddy?
He makes them that way.. Lol
Thru the whole video i kept wondering does he have the Balls to put the Rebel flag on the roof. I'm glad to say he does, way to go dude.
Yeeeehawwww
What type of media or material do you use for sand ⌛ blasting diecast models sand, glass 🥂 or a plastic because I have one but don't know which is better for the models 🤔 please 🙏 let me know when you can? Thank you very much..
Black magic fine media
Thank you for letting me know
👍👍👍❣
👍🏻😎
Que restauração maravilhosa, meus parabéns
Obrigada por dedicar um tempo para me incentivar!
Настоящие ремни на двигателе, гениальное решение, у меня лишь один вопрос к Мастеру, не думали что если добавить смывку, ваш мотор смотрелся бы еще реалистичнее.
Добавить стирку?
❤❤ that is one helluva good looking car restoration my brother. Would you be willing to sell it. I am a huge dukes of hazzard fan.
Thank you very much. I could build you one.
Where is the theme song of dukes of hazard?
It cost more than I can afford. Unfortunately music isn't free to use.
@@Restorations4U that would be awesome. How much.
😁👍👌
😎☺️
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 .
I did know that. That's why I mixed my own to try and match it as close as possible.
Thank you for watching.
I subscribed 😊
You miss the roll bar inside and to.......block doors 😂
Did you put a hellephant in the general?!! Nice
Thank you
Love your work, accurate, clean work as it should be, very well done! Question: where can I find the 3d files for the engine? I have a project for engine build. Appreciate your help 🙏🏻
Try cults3d
Thank you
@@Restorations4U You're a true hero, Sir. I thank you 🤟🏻

Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born
Straightening the curves, yeah
Flattenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em, but the law never will
Makin' their way the only way they know how
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow
Makin' their way the only way they know how (yeah)
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow
I'm a good old boy
You know my mama loves me
But she don't understand
They keep a-showing my hands and not my face on TV, haha YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA
THANK YOU for having the courage to rebuild this TV Character Icon exactly how it was meant to be.
For those woke people who are triggered by a television prop, find something more constructive to do with your life because it's incredibly short.
Thank you for the comment
😃😃👍👍
😎👍🏻
You forgot the horn, lol. Other than that great job!
thank you for watching
Awesome !! When u put the flag on I punched the like button. 👍🏻. Only thing we need is some commentary next time.
I built it how I remember it from the show.
Como consigue las piezas faltantes? Digo, conociendo la antigüedad del auto quizás no haya repuestos.
entretenimiento y hacemos lo que no tenemos
Where can I buy this or other models you have done? Awesome!!
I haven't decided what to ask $$ for any of them. Can you find our contact information on UA-cam?
The engine compartment should have been painted body color.that is how mopar did it.
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.
What color did you use for the wood grain?
Just mixed my own color from a few different browns and tans.
Did he put hellcat motor parts on the motor and took the old motor parts off?
3d printed an entire supercharged 392
Oh ok gotcha.
1/24 ?
1/18
Hey nice job but cwn you do a kenworth smokey wnd the bandit rebuild
KW is coming. Thank you
Printing new parts in not quite restoring to original. They still sell parts for these

@@Restorations4U Oh ok I can't wait.
