Y'all are awesome cousins, and it's an honor to break bread with y'all at the family gatherings! Now gotta add the last of the lights. First the tow rig has six small rounded-rectangular position lights. To make them all as uniform as possible I made a master shape from styrene, then made impressions of it in moldmaking material. I made a lot of extras since I wanted a lot to choose from, and would only take the best 6. This ended up being a very wise move. Clear resin was poured into the mold impressions and thank God there were 6 decent ones to use from the resulting blob. They had to be right the first time since trying to clean up and reshape anything that small would be a nightmare. Now the grill/headlight assembly. Chrome was removed by soaking in bleach, and damage done by previous owner/assembler was repaired. Headlights were drilled out completely. Whole thing primed and painted in Alclad Stainless Steel (more of a workhorse appearance than chrome). New headlights fashioned from acrylic gemstones/rhinestones, with the facets sanded smooth and then polished to shine. The result is far more convincing than chrome headlights the same color as the grill & bumper.

OK...i've thought about this. OK....Hazzard is very small and doesn't even have it's own hospital. ( barely it's own police force...LOL !! ) We hear from Waylon, from time to time, about Shorty's All Night Rib Shack and Pizza Parlor, on Frontage Road. It never even shows Frontage Road on any episode and how much money and how many people would a city/town have to have, to have ANYTHING able to function all night/24 Hr. ???

Population has to be in the thousands and with a plant or distribution center nearby that has 3 shifts or by a main thoroughfare like I-75 otherwise what would be the point if being open 24/7

John Schneider is having a Bo's Extravaganza April 10-11th 2021 at John Schneider studios in Holden Louisiana. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2194070880729969&id=457978651005876&__tn__=*s*s-R

Here you go, Roger: https://cootersplace.com/hazzard-run-2021/ It's the Hazzard Run 2021, October 1st-3rd at Luray, Virginia.

You never know, with no one else prepared to air episodes, they may get it cheap!

The details on this thing are incredible! You're a great builder!

pretty good. Didn't know about the band Stars and Bars from Dunlap. That's just down the road from me.

Now for the rotating beacon atop the rig. Found something very similar from Tony's Custom Squads. Still needed some cleaning up, and the finish redone in Alclad Stainless Steel (although Polished Aluminum perhaps might have been a better choice). License plate was made by cutting a piece of aluminum turkey roasting pan to match the size of the license plate decal. Now for the rear view mirrors. I discovered from my photos that there were two similar yet different styles used, probably meaning two different trucks used for filming the series. I settled on one and started work. Once built and primed, they were finished in Alclad polished aluminum and Bare Metal Foil for the actual reflective surfaces. I definitely should have cleaned them up a bit more after priming....

I caught a mistake in Mary Kaye's Baby and one in Hughie Hogg Strikes Again. The MKB one is during the chase with McQuade & Leo. Luke is driving, then Bo. It doesn't show them make a switch. The HHSA one is Bo driving in the opening scene, and then it's Luke when Hughie in the motorhome runs them into the drink.

I don't think it'd be a financial decision on WB's part otherwise Airy.tv would have had worked out a deal before their license expired. WB most likely wants to distance itself from the confederate flag and General Lee name as much as possible and since DoH has both WB is probably not going to allow it to be put on tv or streamed.

Heard back from them...their license to air episodes expired. They're trying to work out a new deal but with the current 'cancel culture' climate DoH might not be back on their apps.
