I have since put a dress up Edelbrock kit on there
Valve covers
Air Cleaner
Then went with a KN type filter that was dyable yes dyable so I dyed it orange (the element itself) pretty cool.
I cannot believe I haven't really taken any pictures of the engine since it's been completed but it came out great. Won 2nd in Carlisle this past season & thats something to be said!
Oh heres a pictures after season one with the car:

We then shot it with orange since I was keeping the engine compartment black & this is how that turned out.

Dirty old bird aint she?
Then we taped of every possible entrance for the sand to get in & sand blasted away 40 years or grease & grime in 10 minutes!!!

Thanks so much guys he is my bestest lil buddy.
He said last week at a car show we went to & I quote "Dad when is this thing gonna be over, I just wanna get our trophy & go home". I couldn't help but laugh. At the first couple of events I had to walk up with him, but now he's actually gotten used to goin up to get it so much so he goes it alone. Thing is now he expects it LOL.
It's so neat to see him change everyday & mature a lil bit all the time but I just know I'm gonna miss things he says & the way he says them. You all know what I mean I'm sure.
-
Ho looks like a young Bo Duke.
I see he even has moonshine and dynamite like Little Bo.
Roger yea that's my lil Bo alright. At every car event I go to he is right by my side!
-

the new place has cool stuff though including mini golf upstairs & indoor go carts in the back!
here are a few more shots inside the new place...
-
Place directly across the street stayed but changed names & food from a steak house to a pancake house here's a 06-(steak) & the 09-(pancake) shot:
.
.
Here are the best shots I could get of the General Lee in the new location ya kinda cant get the entire car:
-
ok Here is the old Cooters in Gatlinberg taken from across the street in 2006......
.
.
& sad to say here it is in a 1009 shot:
.
.
This is what used to be in the old location:
-
Oh yes it has moved because his old place there was a gas station...an OLD gas station renovated to become his museum. It was the 1st building on the right as you came into town but progress came to town & it has since been knocked down to build more rooms/stores/motel & so on.
They were able to have the General Lee outside & you could walk up to it & a tow truck & patrol car not to mention Daisy's Jeep but like you said at the new location just the General & the General is inside now (looks 2 b permanent to because there is a good 3 foot drop out front of the store where its located). Not to mention the fact your not able to get to it unless you pay the $ up front to have your picture taken with it. I mean you can take a picture but yer unable to really get the full car shot in.
OK I am going to try & add some pix I just went & located of the b4 & after of the old & new Cooters in Gatlinburg......
-
Thanks & well....actually recd a response from Carlisle also b4 they posted on their site I sent an email askin if Jimmy would be there & this was the reply! Good Times...I sure hope Jimmy can be brought out to the Hazzard cars that attend the event so we can get pictures with him & our cars!!!!
Tom

So i hear he is supposed to be there but wanted to see if anyone has any "official" word on it?

My grandfather is the proud owner of Uncle Jesse's house in Loganville, Ga. Its is about five miles from the city of Loganville. The owner before him tore down some of the original building and left only the older log construction of it and didn't replace any of the tin roof. it is decaying rapidly, he has owned the land since april 2006. Lately he has cleared away some of the shrubs around the building to make it more presentable. It is no longer safe to enter the building due to the decay. He says it is ok to come visit but be respectful and make sure not to disturb the building. He has a lot of fun fact about it and enjoys talking to anyone.
Nash,
how cool is that!
Guess I was there b4 he bought it or when he was about to buy it because that what we were told.
That it was being sold back then. Cool to see he is aware & wants to make it presentable Very Cool indeed! Cannot wait to get back down there this hear or next again & have a shot of it with my own Lee in front of the fence!
