Hey Tombo, I just spent the last 25 minutes looking at every single picture from the very first to the very end. I haven't been on in months, but this past 25 minutes were the best time I ever did spend.

Once I passed my last comment I post to your thread, I was in awwww, on how much work there was to restoring a '69 charger into your own general lee, and I was thinking, OMG, if I want to do this, I have a lot of steps to follow, still want to do it?

Then I thought, hell yes, don't care how long it takes, I still want to make my own General Lee, just as soon as I can fund it.

I can't thank you enough, or praise the work you have put into making this General Lee of yours and sharing your steps with us, I was like a kid who was over thrilled and pumping with excitement as I viewed each step carefully.

This was so incredible to me, so very incredible, thank you again for sharing your love for building your very own General Lee, awesome works!!!!

Wow I mean well WOW thats so very cool to hear that you or anyone else would take the time to view all the shots & steps & process from A-Z like that. I loved doing it & I have to be honest I am no done yet but honestly I am kinda sad it's mostly over ya know? Weird I know but true.

The car is a BLAST 100% to take out. I find myself looking at the weather and whenever its lookin good Away I GO! lol.

I will see if I can get the onemedia.com montage I did up on here somehow. I has no words but music & it goes through the pictures for you.

Again Dukefan thanks for the praise it's most welcomed!

I saw them reply about your headlights being dim, could be a bad ground.

It may be but beside the headlights dukefan1 I have a radio that cuts out when the RPM's get to high & a studder start meaning I go to start the car & I get nuttin but then I (GET THIS) I wiggle the drivers seat & bam it starts so I got a short there somehow too. I think the guy who installed the headliner shorted out my interior light or maybe its Gremlins?

Im in NJ so its cold now & the car is sittin in the garage. I have been collecting parts to put in/on it & this far I have sittin here awaiting application:

an aluminum radiator

rear bumperettes

engine wiring harness

forward light harness

headlights

new door locks

new side view mirror

more dynomat for the doors & trunk area

& I'm sure theres more but when I do I will be sure to post more pix

You are quite welcome Tom, it is a dream of mine to be able to do what you did, and just to see how much work it really takes to make a General Lee the right way as you done, takes pride and patience and a lot of time, I can't thank you enough for posting this thread, it means more to me than I can I ever say.:)

LOL thanks bud. This weather is funky right now here & I have a ONE car garage that allows just the car in there. 2 days ago its snowed all day & today its supposed to be 55!.

Yeah, mother nature is ill manured more and more each year, the last week we had a total of a foot of snow, and now tomorrow is suppose to mild up to +7 as opposed to -28 last night, no wonder I am sick the last 3 days...lol

I been meaning to ask you Tom, If I could save these pics as reference to the day I get me a charger, I haven't given up the dream, even though it sure is a dim one, but still in my heart,I sure would appreciate that.:)
