    Country singer Toby Keith has passed away at the age of 62. He had been diagnosed with stomach cancer back in 2022.

    For Dukes fans, he was also appeared as himself in the 2000 TV movie "The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood".

    That's where I know him from, never heard of him before that movie, but liked his music instantly. I even bought a CD from him after seeing the movie.

    Anyway, way to young to go. Rest in peace Toby..

    Got everything out of the dashboard to get the wiring harness for the 8-track setup in. So got the harness in, got the new center speaker in and got the 8-track player in.

    Also got the cluster cleaned up and installed a brand new bezel on it. I never had a cluster that looked like new so this makes me very happy! :D

    I had a good friend of mine came to visit from north Carolina today. He is also a huge dukes fan and he has a general lee replica as well. I have a big projector screen I set up in the fall of last year and I got it inside my garage. The wife and kids got me a nice projector and some Bluetooth speakers for Christmas.  We set it up today and watched One Armed Bandits on the big screen.  It was pretty neat to watch the dukes on a big screen.  It was not so cold here today but I did have the heater going on low to warm up the shop to a comfortable temperature.  Good times for sure!!!

    Sweet! Gives me the idea to make a TV in my garage aswell :lol:

  5. I little progress has been made, and they make me very happy :D

    Bought a new battery and got myself a dress-up kitt and gave it an original look:

    Also I serviced the front brakes. Painted the calipers and cleaned and greased everything:

    Also we managed to get the new windscreen in. Love to see the car with my 3-speakerdash and new windscreen!

    Next step will be to put the windowtrim on, bleed the brakes and paint and polish the front rims.

    When that is done, engine and transmission can get it. Where getting there :D

    Me and a close friend spent the weekend at the late Henry Holmans place in butler GA several years back. He said the first three cars from California were painted hemi orange. The hemi orange and 75 flame red were very similar and the reason they started using the flame red was because they were working on alot of corvettes at the body shop which was H&H body shop and they had alot of the flame red readily available.  This came directly from him, he let us make copies of some of the work orders he still had from when they were working on the cars in 1978. I have a picture of me and him and my buddy standing under the infamous Lee 1 deck lid. Whether or not that was the actual Lee 1 deck lid who knows but maybe Travis Bell. But that's a whole different story. Was glad to meet Henry and his wife,  such nice folks. 

    Do you have work orders from LEE1?

    Speaking of this subject. My wife saw something on FB that an original General was just wrecked in Hollister Missouri, Taney County. I doubt it's really an original but you never know. Anybody hear about it? 

    Yes, it's all over the net. Some articles say it's an original but I really don't think so:

    I've been here for well over a decade and I've never noticed that button! Out of the two choices, I'd go for "Insert image from URL", but I just paste the URL directly into the post. The forum should recognize it as an image and display it. Which image host are you using?

     

    Ha, never saw it? LOL haha. Well, I used it like you say but that doesn't work, after pasting the URL nothing happens. I never knew that this forum has an "rocognize and display" option. How on earth could I haha.

    Let me try, the WB I.D. from WGL24:

    Oh and guys, don't spread these pics all over the net please. Thanks.

    You can only directly upload very small images in the posts. The best thing to do is to use an image hosting site. It looks like Flickr lets you upload 1,000 images for free, but there are many other - just search for "free image hosting". The image host will then give you a link to post the image in the forum.

    Hi, thanks, but that's exactly what I did using the "other media button"

  10. Warner Brothers indeed had markings on the cars. On the dash or on the speedometer there was a tag, mostly they where red. You can sometimes spot them in episodes.

    Also the engraving on the corner of the rear window like CDoherty95 mentioned.

    Also they had engraved wheels from time to time.

    I have pics from WGL24 I recently visited. I tried to insert them here but I can't get it done.

    Can someone explain how it works so I can post pics? I press the button "other media", press "Insert image from URL",  I paste the URL , press "insert to post" and nothing happens. What's wrong here?
