      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

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.

    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 🙂

    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.
