My twist on a General Lee

[keith88]

This is my twist on a General Lee a lot of people have taken there chargers and made a general from it i went a bit different and did what i call a ghost lee. 1st i had a ghost image of the numbers made and put them on the doors just enough to see it.  My car has a vinyl top and wasn't able to do the flag or name but plan on that in the future when i have the paint redone and the vinyl top taken off i will do the roof detail.  I also stuck a picture of the general lee under the hood along with the name on both sides of the engine compartment than i added a ghost 01 under the picture. Here's some shots of what i did.

Its neat, i like it    but i see a future of people telling you "you did it wrong"

Those wheels compliment any color of charger

That's cool!!! I like it!! 

[Mopar Nut]

Nice work!

[70ChargerX2]

This is really cool and I think if you give the top the same treatment when redoing the paint it will look even cooler.
Very nicely done.

Just tell people the flag is under the vinyl....lol

[TexasStroker]

Just tell people the flag is under the vinyl....lol

Haha!

It is kind of the best of both worlds, a little stock 69 and a little General Lee!

That is what i thought about telling people who asked or said any thing..LOL. Had my 1st show yesterday and it was well received by patrons got a lot of comments, it is the best of both worlds for the people who like them stock and for the people who dont mind the general lee... thanks

Haha!

Nice work, but you did it wrong.

[marshallfry01]

Nice! I like it!!

Good looking car.  If anyone has a problem with it, then they can go build their own...

Nice car, But a 318 ?

Nice car, But a 318 ? 

OMG!  It's not a big block.   What a piece of crap.  This is a turd of a car. 
This kind of restoration is exactly what's ruining this hobby. 
Absolutely disgusting and obviously very difficult to look at.   You need to dump this car immediately and never look back. 
I'd be more than happy to assist you by coming and getting it from you.   Just let me know when I can pick it up.   Naturally I'll cover all expenses so as to make this as painless as possible for you.

Yeah really, whats wrong with a 318?

[keith88]

Nothing wrong with a 318! do i wish it had a bigger motor? ...sure but it will do for now if anything ever happens i will keep it a small block though ill up grade to a 360 or 340 but for now it works just fine and gas mileage is great. I dont race it I show it and drive it

And it's a nice looking 318!

I'm pretty sure skippy is just messin around.

[BlaineKaiser450]

I really like it  I'm not much a fan of copying another vehicle so I've never really had eyes for General Lees, but you put your own twist on it, and it came out great 

[69wannabe]

I'm a big block fan myself but the 318's are great engine's and last forever!!!!  Small block's have their place in muscle cars for sure, a few years back I built a 416 ci stroker out of a 340 for a 68 barracuda and it was awesome!! It was built more for the strip than the street and it had a 175 shot of spray on it too so it was not a slouch!!! Most people thought we were running a big block in it!!! That car hurt alot of feeling's at our local drag strip!!! You engine look's great and very nicely done!!!

I'm pretty sure skippy is just messin around.

Oh I know skip was.

Interesting concept.....

I tend to like subtle styling......so it's no surprise a GL isn't very high on the to do list. It's still a Charger and a Mopar, and a very nice one.

Definitely would like to see it in person.

As for a 318......

With the hood up......no matter what you do, it's not as impressive as a BB.

I'm more impressed with what happens with the hood down......like driving. I, being a big fan of stealth, see some serious fun with a SB stroker......

Yes.....some interesting possibilities with a stealth GL........

Looks great- very good option until you do the top treatment.

[six-tee-nine]

I like the lee touch its not over the top.
BTW I like your engine bay detailing.

Nothing wrong with a good running smallblock. Lots of guys running low comp big block turds that cant move their own a$$ properly....
And if you want to mess around with that engine some day you could always add 2 turbo's, get some extra attention because of them and spank some powerfull big blocks also......

What a beautiful charger. You must be thrilled with the outcome. Congrats on an awesome build.
