I am in the process of making mine

please "splain"

There ya go Roger, I mean the one I was doing ended up with sponsors, t-shirts, live music, and a DJ, food vendors, parts vendors, door prizes, 50/50 burn-outs, and a cruise afterwards to crash another clubs annual show.

I say try & start it yourself if theres not a show in "your" area that you like, then make the show. TX you mention looking to see if there was anyone in your area looking for Dukes gatherings, maybe there are others out there just like you that are trying to find stuff. Can you start a webpage or post on sites an say that you want Dukes fans to gather somewhere for a non-formal get together. It is really cool to see something born out of it after a little while. Myself I started a Mopar show here in NJ & it got to over 300+ Mopars in a few yrs. Just a thought I sure don't mean to preach by any means....I was thinking/typing out loud is all. Oh by the way that Charger event that someone mentioned above is the TDC & Wes & Jerry help Wayne Wooten run that TX show & they get over 100 Chargers there! There is always at least one General each yr.

Thanks Darrell, I want to share the photos and such but at the same time dont wanna saturate everyone everyday if ya know what I mean? I am thankful that people like lookin at them because I really enjoy takin them. Everytime I go to the bodyshop its like another present when I see more done!

Thanks Maryanne. I have also collected besides the pushbar (small GA) & the rebop rims, I got a decal kit but then bought a stencil kit thinking I am going to paint instead of decals. I bought a new headliner I bought all new emblems I got new door handles Got a new front bumper re-chromed I had my check moldings rechromed as well as my tail light surround bezels! I also had the chrome rechromed that seperates the orange from the black on the rear of the car (they sometimes all'em the eyebrows) I got a NICE dash pad (original & factory tan) no cracks so I have been stocking up on stuff all along!

Did you ever get a General Lee by the way & if so PLEASE post pics!!!

There ya have it so far. I will keep posting pix as the car develops thanks for taking the time to look!

Filled in the CHARGER emblem holes as well as the antenna hole Here is the car a few days ago today being 12/30/07 Decided to replace the front shield & pull the rear one also to take care of issues this is teh new front just covered with dust

Now the new 1/4's came without any marker lights & as with General Lees we all know they can be marker delete or 68 painted over or 69's can be in there. I decidde to use the original marker lights & my bodayman added them back in.

More replacement pieces...ended up with rear valance, rear tail light panel, Both lower 1/4's & one fron lower 1/4.

Heres the replacement fender I grabbed

Locate a hood but I still want a replacement as it has some issues picked up a pushbar BODYWORK STARTS Realized it be better to replace some parts due to rust I went back to get metal at the local shows.

woops a lil out of order there but thats the front bumper brackets I had to locate Found some seats Then winter hit once again When spring arrived I still had to locate a hood but also made a deal with a local bodyman to do the car for me so he came to pick it up. first time I drove it in 2 years!

Yes those of you with good eyes thats a 70 hood still on there as I had yet to located a 68-69 hood at this point....for those that didnt cath that go head back & look I'll wait LOL. My buddy John stopped over to lend a hand a few times & my house was a Charger fest LOL.

THEN ON WITH THE 69 STUFF

Then off came the front so it could be replaced with what I had so far:

Parts collected some later to be re-placed by better parts like this fender as you will see in future shots...I found a better one Bought a set of thess too.

During all thius I attended local & not so local shows & sold Mopar parts to fund my project & left those shows with parts for the car remember the front end is still a 70 clip! Here I am selling at E-town . & more shots

Then I painted the center cap

Put in the console & then replaced the column sleeve & signal cancler whiel I was in there: In my garage I had a nice woodgrain wheel so I decided to pop that in there as well while I was doing this process:

Here you see the buddy seat brackets that had to be removed & replaced with the console brackets Going Replaced

B4 AFTER: I also went from a column shifter automatic to a console/floor shift automatic didnt replace the entire column just the sleeve
