Restoration of General Lee #001

Post by Jeff V. »

I'm always amazed how someone can take an utter disaster of a car and turn it into something nearly new. Regardless of your feelings about the show, this is one impressive piece of work.

That car is now worth a lot more than the $100,000 he has in it. At the very least, it was a worthwhile financial decision. We're seeing this kind of thing more and more, as people are paying huge prices for stuff like this.

This was talked about a lot on the Charger forums

There's some interesting history tid-bits in there, like how they poured cement in the trunk to keep the car level during jumps :D
There are also some more pictures in that thread

Me? I'm not a big fan of Dukes anymore..I used to be, but just grew out of it.
But what that guy did is freakin' amazing
