Default The General Lee

Hey fellas, TheXmodifyer here.
Well, since i havent sen a project goin here for ten-thousand years I decided I may as well post my current project. Alot of you may know by now that I love the General Lee and I've been dyin' to get my hands on a General Model. So for christmas i open up a small-ish box and what is it? Yes, its a general lee. So about a wek after Christmas i started in on the general. When i got the chassis ready that id be using, and the body and the body parts all out, i realized ow hard this project will be. The charger body is LONGER than the F-150's chassis! so i started in on the chassis. The chassis' done and now I've been perfecting the body. Heres some current pics,

^Before Clear^

^After Clear but body is not nearly finished^
More Pics to come!!
Thanks for lookin
The Xmodifyer

Hey I got that General! I've had the kit for years now and have never done anything with it. If you want it it yours just pay shipping.

BTW you do know its NOT the correct car. Thats is the NASCAR version of the Charger, note the rear window is flush with the "C" pillar or 1/4 panel if you prefer. The original General Lee was just a plain Charger and had the rear window that was almost vertical and the "C" pillar went out past it. The nascar version was built differently to improve rear end down force.

WOW! Thanks guys! Didnt expect this many replies. No the Body is NOT metal i can prove that. I did notice that this body is the nascar version. I was looking at the back window and immediately noticed that it was inline with the quarter panels and not set-in. Thanks for all your comments! More pics soon!

Um, it only had one, It was the rebel flag on top. And if im not mistaken I think they had a flag on a license plate on the front bumper, or was that Boss Hogs cadilac?
