This is amazing. If the other things weren't in the pictures you wouldn't be able to tell this car wasn't real. Thanks for updating us and posting pictures. Keep 'em coming! You have skillzzz!
Got the rear of the car done today. I painted the rear black, and also painted the inside of the chrome trim red on the bottom and black on the other 3 sides to better match real 69 tail lights.
I am the new owner of the #1RDV General Lee from the movie starring Jessica Simpson. What I am looking for are photos of this car being used during the production. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. It is currently painted in the pre-Cooter paint scheme with the RDV (remote drive vehicle) equipment on the roof, but was originally standard General Lee #13 Post-Cooter. Please email if you have any questions or need a picture of the car in its current condition. Thanks, Scott
I can understand your point about times changing but my concern is this. If Dukes going from a G rating to an R rating is considered an improvement then does that mean that if they go from R to X that will be even better? Consider this, The original Georgia episodes were PG but they toned them down to G because they knew the improvement is what would succeed and it was what the majority wanted. It's what the majority still wants. Not many people wanted to see Uncle Jesse smoking pot in the last R rated movie. Even fewer will want to see Willie Nelson naked in the X-rated one. RogerDuke
I suspect that most peple who liked the recent Dukes Beginning movie weren't even born when the original series was out. I'm happy to see young people drawn to the Dukes but disappointed in the vulgarity. I have a question for those who would corrupt such a great show. WWJD? (What would (Uncle) Jesse do?) Well, let me tell you what he'd do...he'd get up and turn off the satellite dish and then put in a DVD of the original Dukes. RogerDuke
I think this might be a historic moment at HazzardNet! LOL. Darrell and Tim in agreement... *THUD* There might be occasional squabbles on this site. You'll get that anywhere a large group of folks congregate. But one thing pulls us all together into one great big family and that's love of the Dukes of Hazzard.
This is just a classic case of something that is treated as a God gets a makeover. Some will accept the changes and watch it as something new, with memories of the old, and some will boycott. I, for one, accept the new change. I DON'T want to see the original cast anymore. They have serviced us well. If the Dukes must be remade, then it must have a new cast. Tom Wopat will even agree with that. He has said so before.
I dont know if the rest of america(including the younger generations) want to see 40 year old people slide across the hood of a car. Nor do they want to see a woman grasping at her sexuality which has long since gone. No offense...but the oringinal cast aint as pretty as they used to be.
He played on the show "Sons & Daughters" which was on ABCFamily and something ironic is that Jonathan Bennett was on Smallville which John Schneider was on and it was on ABCFamily too.
