This is one of the best looking General Lee clones I've ever seen. You have the correct 7" wide Vector wheels (rather than the 8.5" wide versions that a lot of GL clones have), originals even (rather than the recent reissues); the correct BF Goodrich tires with blackwalls facing out (rather than the raised white letter side facing out like a lot of GL clones have); door numbers that are a match for the two '82-'85 "hero" cars that Wayne Wooten now owns (a lot of GL clones have door numbers that are way off from any used on the show), the correct matching '82-'85 General Lee text on the roof, and the orange color looks right.

It looks like you're missing a few of the details such as the CB antenna in the back, the rollbar, and I can't see from that angle if you have the push bumper or not, but regardless of that, you've got the important parts dead on; the parts that really defined the look and feel of the real TV show cars.

Thank you very much, this is very nice!!   I will try to dig up some more pictues.  It has everything other then the CB antenna and roll bar, which I specifically left off (I actually have the correct tear drop antenna/base in my garage).   The roll bar is kind of annoying for the street and so is the CB antenna (and i didnt want to scratch my paint or deal w/ it when I stick the car in the garage).   Most people dont really know anyways, and if they do...I dont really care.

Interior is done in the light tan color and I have the wide later season push bar (built from the jig they found that was used to make the originals).   I also have the correct center caps for it, but didnt have them with me when we mounted the hweels and then never bothered to take the wheels off to put on.   Will get toit one day, but technicaly if you most of the cars in the show didnt have it either so what i have is correct anyways.

Thank you again for the compliments!!!

Maybe so- the picture in the wall was certainly part of the inspiration; it was on the wall for decades awaiting the real thing to appear.

Here is mine. It took me 4 years or so to complete. Longest one ever. Black...last one for me.

Just found out that they posted it in "Street legal TV" . Scroll down half way.
