  1. What if Lucifer is the Double Zero?

    Its not too far fetched either. They are of the same make/model and year(or atleast the range). The only big differences are paintjob, hood, and engine most likely. And there is a long enough gap to explain when a possible sale happened.

    After studying both, I'd have to say it's highly unlikely that they are the same car. I could see someone making Lucifer from Double Zero, but not the other way around.

    Lucifer has a different hood with quick release pins, side scoops, rear spoiler, no front grille/lights, no wipers, no door mirrors, no 'Mustang' text across the trunk and extra suspension components at the rear. You would need to restore it back to near showroom condition before turning it into Double Zero. This seems like an odd thing to do to a race winning car.

  2. I thought this one was going to be easy after doing Double Zero - how wrong I was. There are quite a few differences, but it was much quicker than starting from scratch. Most of the changes involved removing trim, with only a few bits added. This one is pretty true to the original - no artistic license with this one. These wheels are also the ones that I should have put on Daisy's Road Runner. The Crane Cams logo appears at the beginning, but gets painted over before the race. There also appears to be something painted over near the tail lights in some scenes.

  3. I forgot to acknowledge the previous correct answers to the smoking question - everyone got it right.

    Now for the RV question - I'm afraid it's half marks all 'round. To quote Rosco himself, it was 'a mama possum and a buzzard with collard greens in his beak':

    Q. Also from 'Hazzard in Hollywood', we're all familiar with General Lee's horn, but what tune does the horn in Cypriano's low-rider play?.

  4. I'd have to agree with MaryAnne though I'm sure we all know why it's not smart to disagree with her.

    I'll wimp out and do the same. I'm waiting for the day MaryAnne or Mufn tell us General Lee was blue, or Bo was the dark one, and we'll all agree out of deference :).

    Sorry Roger, I've got a couple of questions from 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood' - I'm starting watching again from 'One Armed Bandits', so regular service will be resumed soon :). I'll start with an easy one:

    Q. In 'Hazzard in Hollywood', what creatures were painted on Rosco's RV?.

  5. After watching 'Reunion', I couldn't resist having a go at the infamous '00'. I've not taken as much artistic license with this one, the chrome around the wheel arches and white letter tires are my only additions. The flames on the front fenders are copied directly, but I couldn't find a clear shot of the flames on the hood, so I had to improvise a bit - all of the replicas I've seen seem to differ in this area (my 1:18 model was no use at all). The license plate was too blurry to make out, so I left it blank - if anyone knows the correct license plate, please let me know so I can add it in. Now I have the basic shape of the '68 Mustang, I might have a go at Lucifer :).

  6. I planned to post last night, but late nights on HNet catch up with me once in a while - I have no memory of anything past 11.15pm last night (6.15pm Eastern) :).

    I know the answer to Mufn's question, but only by looking it up on IMDb. If no-one else answers, I'll post the answer, but I feel like I cheated. I've never seen the show, so I don't feel too bad about not getting it.

    As you'd probably guessed, our Supreme Superior Commander was correct in every detail. I don't think they've shown 'Grace Under Fire' on TV over here for about 10 years - it would be good to see an episode again. I enjoyed Brett Butler's cameo in season 1 of 'My Name is Earl'.

    Q. John Schneider's character, Ray, enjoys a cigar or two in 'Christmas Comes to Willow Creek', but which is the only Dukes episode where we see him smoking?.

  7. I joined soon after you stopped posting, and I wondered where HazzardNet's most prolific poster had gone :). It's great to have you back, and I hope you can find the right balance between school and Hazzard. It's also good to hear that TexasDaisy's computer woes are behind her (at least for a while).

  8. I spent the day at the All American Car, Truck & Bike Show in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath. American cars are pretty rare here (there's a '65 Mustang I've seen around a couple of times, and there's a guy about 10 miles away with a Dodge Ram pickup), so to see so many in one place was great. There was a good turnout of Mustangs, and I'm sure MaryAnne would have liked the dozen or so '70s and '80s Trans-Ams.

    Obviously the highlight of the day was finding a General there. I spent about half an hour talking Dukes with the car's owner, Gary. He told me that he knows of one other General in Ireland, but that might be it. I know several HNet members have their own Generals, so this may sound like no big deal, but getting to sit inside was definitely a treat for me - Thanks Gary.

    The show was hosted by the Midland American Automobile Club.

    Gary belongs to the American & Custom Car Club Northern Ireland. Take a look at their website for more pictures of his General, plus pictures from his trips to Dukesfest.
