  • Got this in from someone who wanted to see what I could do with it. I wasn't too sure if it could be saved considering how bad it is.

    Oh yes I remember this car from a video a couple of weeks ago where you spoke about the upcoming stuffs and I have been looking forward to this one ever since

    Ghost of General Lee! You talk as much as you want. That's how some of us learn. Remember the ones talking crap are usually on the toilet taking one. Great video! I happen to have been born on the day the Dukes Of Hazard showed their first episode.

    Dude you talk just the right amount... it’s not boring at all...if I ever get a charger in real life this is what I want done to it... man is this thing work of art!!!

  • @michaelupton2310
    @michaelupton2310 Před 4 lety +4

    I used to have two of the ertl Dukes of Hazzard "General Lee" cars back when I was a kid... now I'm 42 years old and I collect the model kits and a couple of 1:18 scale version of that car.. but that one you restored looks pretty sharp 👍👍👍😀😀😀

    This car came out great. Great choice of paint. I always like to hear what you have to say and how you explain what you did and do. It makes those of us who customize hot wheels understand more and do the little things we haven't done. I'm always picking up new tips and tricks from guys like you. Great video. Can't wait for future videos.

  • @maximumbob350
    @maximumbob350 Před 5 lety +2

    That is a great take on the General Lee; looks way better than I would have predicted. I can't help feeling that a black bonnet (or hood; I'm British, don't judge me) would have really suited it.

  • @darrylzierlein9563
    @darrylzierlein9563 Před 5 lety +3

    You and the others that do this stuff are craftsmen in your own right,keep doing it,dont change a thing👍

  • @reephdigital
    @reephdigital Před 5 lety +2

    That is an awesome custom. I agree, the color is so good with how you have it.

  • @ReboottoysEllis
    @ReboottoysEllis Před 5 lety +4

    I wish more customizers would talk about what they done in the process thank you love in the videos you got a new subscriber

    @1jugglethis Před 5 lety +4

    That looks incredible! Very, very well done!

  • @walterwatts8128
    @walterwatts8128 Před 5 lety +1

    Any charger that gets to be a general lee, is badass. To heck with the people who critisize, they just are mad cut they can't do it. Great work, and keep it up.

  • @biglakehotrods381
    @biglakehotrods381 Před 5 lety +4

    Really cool take on the ole general. I gotta find those wheels.

    Thing looks sweet. You always make the best of what you're given.

  • @revzillo
    @revzillo Před 5 lety +3

    That is just an Awesome version of the General Lee. Great job l really like the silver blue color too 👍

  • @garyslentzii2796
    @garyslentzii2796 Před 3 lety

    I love how you explain everything so we know exactly what you are doing.

  • @pedrodelacabra1855
    @pedrodelacabra1855 Před 5 lety +1

    Your paint jobs are getting better. The silver looks great with the black decals. 'Oh, dem Duke Boys!'

  • @terribelbliss9646
    @terribelbliss9646 Před 5 lety +4

    It came out beautifully, nice to see this done in another color too. I think you are very interesting to listen to, your narration is quite witty, not sure everyone would agree but oh well. 👍

  • @DrewsCustomDiecastDrewMSmith

    I'm usually not a fan of changing up the General but you knocked this one out of the park. He looks phenomenal!

  • @strange-universe
    @strange-universe Před 5 lety +14

    16:10 it's your show man, do it your way :) That car looks great, liking the way guys are expanding on the finishes, much more interesting!

  • @marvelfanr
    @marvelfanr Před 4 lety +1

    I don't think you're boring or you talk to much...even if that was correct you're work is always awesome!!

  • @udorechner6846
    @udorechner6846 Před 5 lety +1

    Very nice custom. The new color looks awesome. I like the upgrade of the interieur with a dashboard an steering wheel.

  • @bashirjohnson4120
    @bashirjohnson4120 Před 4 lety +1

    I NEVER BEEN ON YOUR CHANNEL BUT I ENJOY IT
    THANK YOU SIR

  • @mattdaugherty7865
    @mattdaugherty7865 Před 5 lety +6

    Funny thing is, the color of paint you used, reminds me of the color of the confederate soldier uniform. Nice job!

  • @tffirewalkertf

    The ghost of the General Lee.

  • @lordcolley

    Wow this is a gorgeous custom. Love the colour and all the work you put into your projects. Bo and Luke would be jealous at this general.

  • @DJTAZ1996
    @DJTAZ1996 Před 4 lety

  • @ChristopherBurgert
    @ChristopherBurgert Před 5 lety +1

    I literally just found an old beat up Ertl General Lee. Found your video just in time to redo the paint job. So thanks for the video.

  • @meow-lk3es
    @meow-lk3es Před 5 lety

    Don't change anything about your videos, man.
    It's your channel, do it your way.

  • @brianmackie5479
    @brianmackie5479 Před 5 lety +5

    Another great job,the colour looks really good with the decals,as for those who comment on how much talking you do,well you can’t please everyone as far as I’m concerned your videos are spot on even down to the music choice.Looking forward to the next.

  • @MG-im5kq
    @MG-im5kq Před 4 lety

    Looks outstanding! I WANT ONE !!!

  • @madmax0814
    @madmax0814 Před 5 lety +1

    I would have been tempted to go with white paint with the black decals like an episode where the ghost of the General Lee appeared. However, your channel, your choice and I really like the way it turned out 👍👍👍

  • @lyricalgateway2193
    @lyricalgateway2193 Před 5 lety +2

    Turned out great. I like the way your video is done. Keep up the great work!

  • @keithreh9338
    @keithreh9338 Před 4 lety +1

    nice custom resto! thank you for avoiding the overplayed orange base coat...the muted silver turned out nice! same as the black decals...accenting that doesn't overpower the overall package!

  • @donaldthomas3173
    @donaldthomas3173 Před 5 lety +1

    That car started life as a general Lee, you can tell by the original orange paint inside and the molded push bar on the front

  • @carlosalba2808
    @carlosalba2808 Před 4 lety +1

    Very nice to see you went in a different direction with paint came out really cool wish you would have found an interior with roll bars in your junk box

  • @GoodOlBoy1976
    @GoodOlBoy1976 Před 5 lety +1

    That was awesome and the fact that you can put your own spin on things makes it better. I would love to have one of them to add to my General Lee collection. All of mine are still in the box but I would never turn down some thing like that.

  • @Outlawstar79
    @Outlawstar79 Před 5 lety +1

    I am usually against redline style tires but they worked in good contrast to the bluegray and really helped the car pop. People are gonna hate but just keep doing you and what you love my Man..impressive and glad I subbed to the channel...keepem comin!

    The inadvertantly tinted windows fit in perfect. Maybe there's an accidental process there to tint others in the future.

  • @kirbybrady3397
    @kirbybrady3397 Před 5 lety +3

    You are right that is a cool look. Great job! I was watching a video yesterday where they had a Charger from the show it's self and they were saying how they wanted to use a Chevelle but they cost to much so they went with the Charger.Just FYI! Awsome work!

  • @michaelrzeszuto777
    @michaelrzeszuto777 Před 5 lety +4

    Being that was our war between the blue and grey, maybe you could do a grey gen.lee & a blue Camaro for gen.grant. keep your videos the way they are, their cool. Thanks for sharing.

  • @mr.sideburns2031
    @mr.sideburns2031 Před 5 lety +1

    With the General I would say I am a purist, but this came out really sweet, like a photo negative of the original. That color was perfect for the black decals. Nice job.

    @powderriver2424 Před 5 lety +2

    Funny how you popped up on my feed IDK, but this was neat. Listening to you I’m not sure if your my age but I was 10 in 1979 and I remember these cars I had one, my best friend had one and the cop car and Boss Hogg’s Cadillac and yes these were cheaply made. Definitely not Hot Wheels or Match Box can’t believe how long ago that was many memories.

    That turned out amazing, a bounce Dayton strip would have caped the design off just right 👉. But all in all what a great job I have been watching your videos for a bit now and I like your videos, as well as the video structure, keep up the great job.
