Did your chiropractor say "I'm glad to see your back!"

It's easy to make a comment. What you're doing is hard....and quite impressive. 

That is awesome! Three cheers for MeTV. When I first saw the post I thought it said MTV. That's the music channel that doesn't have any music. I guess it's a sign of the times. CMT doesn't much music either even though their M stands for it too. The educational channels don't have any educational shows and the news doesn't have news anymore (only opinions). 

I still haven't heard what it was all about. 
My lower back is killing me. I went to the chiropractor yesterday but it hasn't helped. That was my first trip there in two years. 

It's easy to make a comment. What you're doing is hard....and quite impressive. 

This is my point. I really don't see where they would get their business from..... for a 3rd shift!

Bo Duke:"You think I should bleed these brakes again?" Luke Duke:"If you don't relax, the only thing that's gonna do any bleedin' is yer nose. What's a matter with you anyways? Yer as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs."

Y'all are amazingly kind with your comments!
Also, I forgot to mention the dually wheels are resin items I got on Ebay which match exactly the ones on the real thing. 

THAT...is just unbelievable!! EEEEEXCELLENT!     

You make it sound so easy. This would be an impressive build if it was all shiny, but the weathering and dirt take it to another level. I can't believe that you even used different guitar strings for the aerials - that's attention to detail!

Just...wow. the level of detail. 

I just checked my notebook. The first episode of season 2 is where I have this listed "Shorty's All Night Rib Shack and Pool Hall on Swamp Road". 
On season 5 episode 6 I have listed "All Night Pizza Parlor on Frontage Road". 
On season 4 episode episode 25 and season 5 episode 7 I have listed "All Night Supermarket on Frontage Road"
I do have a Hazzard Hospital listed on season 5 episode 17. 
Bear in mind that some of the episode numbers could be off by one depending on whether or not a two parter was listed as one episode. 

We were getting ready to leave to get our taxes done this morning when we heard a siren. That's a pretty rare sound around here because we live on a dirt road that gets very few cars. I looked out the window and saw a vehicle flying down the road. A state cop was in hot pursuit, and then a second patrol SUV, then a third patrol SUV. There was a 5 second gap and then a fourth patrol SUV. We watched the local tv news programs and they never mentioned anything so I still don't know what it was but I'll bet that meth was involved. I don't think I've ever witnessed a police hot pursuit before....at least I can't remember. Of course I've been thinking about Hazzard County all day because of it. I'll update you if I found out what happened. I'm a bit happy it wasn't on the news because that means nobody got hurt. 

Just think! Now I've got a cousin who knows how to build Duke trucks!!      

And a pretty cool cousin!

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.


 

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.

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

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

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
 

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

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

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. 

Here you go, Roger:

It's the Hazzard Run 2021, October 1st-3rd at Luray, Virginia.

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.  ???
