I had it new back then

Great resto. I’ve done a few of these myself. Need to add that roll bar in :-) and antenna while you’re at it. Wheels are killer

Thanks! The car could have definitely used some interior mods since the original is pretty sparse. I think I had made an antenna at one point but lost it along the way ha. The correct wheels really make the difference!

Did a good job restoring it !

Rustoleum makes an Alis Chalmers paint that's pretty spot on too

Nice work Looks good how u fixed up the the general

Hey that looks almost like Jack sessom's screen used miniature general lee car 😀😀😀👍👍👍

Cool

Is there a way to remove the hood and trunk so it all can be painted separately?

This is weird, but I just bought a general lee this week and I was looking for information about it and I came across your video and I'm pretty sure it's this exact one that you are showing. It has the same details from the scratched missing paint under the hood to the silver spot where the air cleaner should be. It look 100 %just like the one in the video

I sold it to another General Lee collector online a year or two ago so you may have it! Got any pics of it you can send me to a DM on Instagram or Facebook?

I couldn't figure out how to send pics on Facebook or Instagram so I sent them to your Gmail.

I had that as a child unfortunately got lost

Do you have a link to get the wheels. I'm in the process of restoring one of these Ertl General Lee. I'm using GM flame Orange for my paint colour

Dougie Murray I bought them off a guy named MoparMan Jim in the old Dukes forums, but he’s on Facebook under moparman jim or MoparMan models, something like that.

They were made in the late 2000s by a customizer on a Dukes of Hazzard forum back in the day…so I don’t think it’s possible to get a set of these exact ones any more. However I’m sure there are people 3D printing similar designs rather than making them out of resin like these.

Ik have a knightrider version, alsof from the 80s the Hood opens

Any link or something where I can get the vectors in the 1:16 scale? I can't find the guy on Facebook. I looked under the name you mentioned

Unfortunately I don’t have a link as the forums we conversed on are long since gone. Try searching for Moparlover MJ on Facebook. Name on the account is Jamie Lynn or something like that. Jim was the guys name that made them.

They were one of the less popular scales behind the 1/64 and 1/24 scale Generals. I’ve seen more of the plastic 1/16 scale General models at toy shows and stuff than I have these diecast 1/16th cars.

Steven Duering during the span of the series, there were several different shades of orange used, including EV2 orange, GM Flame Red, and others. The California cars, which this car was made to resemble, used a orange based shade of paint rather than the earlier red/orange based paints.

Love the repaint, decals & wheels. I just bought a pretty beat up one I’m going to restore it. I’d love the information on the wheels. I’d like to order some for mine. Thank you in advance!

How much would you sell it for? I want it!

The rear isn't raised like it should be

@64Wheels

That’s just how all these 1/16 metal cars are for some reason. Not a great way to fix it as you can’t raise the axle height because then the chassis will be too far away for the assembly tabs to connect. I’m sure if you put a lot of work into you could customize it, but some of the real Generals sat like that bc they had concrete in the trunk for jumps, so I’m okay with it🏁

No roll cage, no gas fill cap, no antenna, rear end is sitting too low, need to put a high gloss clear coat on it.....

I built this back in like 2009 or 2010 before 3D printing was big and had no way to make a gas cap sadly. Not every General Lee in the show had a roll cage, so that part is still correct. I wish I would have made an antenna for it as I have made them for 1/24th scale Generals, but it has since found a new owner🏁

Actually it's not orange it's a mix of colors because they didn't know the show was gonna be a hit show.

LOL WHAT. A color can be a mix of colors and still be a shade of orange.....which the General Lee is. You’re confusing actual paint names like Corvette Flame Red or Hemi Orange, as they are both shades of orange but are named two completely different things. It’s widely known the series used several different shades of orange, from EV2 to Flame Red, but there was no one “correct” orange specifically for all General Lees.

John Schneider mentioned on his YT channel that the color came from a mixture of several shades of red and orange car paint.
