  1. Cooter seems to be using some unorthodox welding equipment. Maybe this is his secret for keeping the General running so well? Untitled by mommydawn2000, on Flickr
  2. St. Petersburg (Grew up there and they have their own Grand Prix)
  3. Of course you knew that HossC would do all the research for you!! I like that idea Roger- to me that's better than painting a dirtbike like the General Lee, which is what would occur to most people. To me, replicating even an obscure prop from the show will feel a little more like having a 'real' piece of Hazzard. I am working on a TV show prop project that was based on 1979 Yamaha MX 175 and you can find those for around $200-300. You'll of course need the matching helmet and a box bungeed to the back. Maybe also some kind of container that says Hazzard Post Office? And when you are done, you can get a custom Hazzard motorcycle license plate for it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUKES-OF-HAZZARD-CUSTOM-TEXT-HAZZARD-COUNTY-LICENSE-PLATE-motorcycle-plate-4x7-/261990281500?hash=item3cffd6711c&vxp=mtr Mark (Scooter Davenport)
  4. I'm working on the 'attic' space and I found a way to hint at/pay tribute to the history of the building that became the Hazzard Garage. I've made old weathered versions of the signs that dressed the set as it was used in 'The Music Man', and 'The Shootist'. Livery signs reference by mommydawn2000, on Flickr

  6. You can feel that hint of Fall trying to come back around to the hills here in Hazzard County! Soon the leaves will change color and the afternoons will get cooler. The General Lee won't be the only spot of orange in the countryside as folks start decorating with pumpkins on the porch. How's the weather in your area?
  7. GOOD ONE!! Which brings me to... Car Magazines
  8. I told him I consider his déjà vu to be a stamp of approval! Mark
  9. Some nice words I got today from Cooter himself: "Alma and I are just blown away by your work. It is fantastic, and that is not a word I use very often. You continue to capture the reality with an accuracy that is in fact heightened by its "unreality', i.e., the dream world of re-creation. We are even more astonished that you are capturing the essence of the garage and the spirit of the show at such a minute scale. You have a remarkable gift. To me, you have created a work of serious art. There is no other word for it. I am having deja vu looking at these pictures. Bravo. Bravo! Ben Jones"
  10. Sci-Fi is my usual subject for models, so this project has been a nice 'down-to-earth' break from that.
