Waylon Jennings Personal General Lee For Sale On Ebay

I am thinking they may be the first generation quarter skins. One of the Chargers here right now has them. They went on in the early 90's. Same weak central body line, same weird lower line, same somewhat flatter overall look with funky taper going from the wheel well to toward the bumper.

Agreed. 

I don't think those early skins were available in 1979.  I think they were around in the later 80s though.  Not sure.

  any decent body Guy , would not have let it go , he would have reworked the lower quarters & or cut the section off & fabricated a new  lower section , to fit & look  correct , IF he knew what he was doing  , not difficult .... with rear quarter repairs like that !! what else is hiding under the shiny paint  ....

I think you are right. I believe they appeared on the market in 88 or 89.

Compare:

Looks the same?

Both curved, both have same lines on it... uhm.

Ps: having another look, the lower part of quarter behind rear weel, on yours it curls under the car, the GL doesn't look like it curls under the car, its more like flat or something, straight down... might be angle?

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Maybe it's the lighting, but the the body line appears to be closer to the marker light on the orange POS in comparison to the 70.

[Brock Lee]

Its not the lighting. They are the same shit quarters I have. If I had a decent pic, I would post..but I always find creative ways to downplay how retarded they look.

If there is any possible way to screw up a 2nd-gen Charger quarter panel, then amateur bodywork artists (including repro sheetmetal makers) will find it.

I know this is an old post but i had to say something. When did this car get restored? anybody know? Ive got the magazine article here somewhere and in the article Waylons charger wasn't this nice looking, I remember the engine compartment was green and the A/c hoses weren't even there, the body on his looked really good but I want to even say it had a green interior. I gotta dig that mag out and look again.

[Bad B-rad]

That maybe why the engine bay is now BLACK instead of body color(orange)or green, and maybe why inside is also black and not DOH tan, I guess painting it black is better then green

All I know is that Waylon was one of the last of the "Good 'Ole Boys.  Loved his music.

Here are a few pictures of Waylon's General from the 90's.  As you can see, the interior is black as well as the engine bay.  The body lines do not look as bad as they do now.  Also, if you look carefully, you can see the sail panel seam starting to bubble up.  If I had to guess, I would say that the car was repainted recently and the interior was dyed black again.  Notice the headrest ring in the earlier picture is still silver/chrome... now it has been painted black.

Come on, now....you know more than just this.

Even though the body lines do look round and strange owning this General should make anyone proud. Owning both a piece of DOH and something personal of Waylon's is pretty cool in my opinion.
