I'm not aware of any decal templates, but I'm very satisfied with the MCU Racing decals.  They're from Canada and I have no idea how much it costs to ship to Europe, but I believe that MCI has plenty of vintage RC decal customers overseas.

Yeah.  Typo on my phone

The video is up for Rosco's car and it includes a fun car chase at the beginning of the video!
 

Let me repeat everything I wrote here and double it. This new video is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much. 

For those who are interested,  I posted the car chase from the police video separately.   I did some additional editing, color grading and I added music.  I'm pretty happy with the result.

Thanks Roger!

I've been a Dukes of Hazzard SuperFan for 44 years and can honestly say that the chase at the start of this video is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! I sure hope it gets a lot of exposure in places besides the HazzardNet and the stars of the show get to see it. Thank you so much for sharing it Jim. You are a true SuperFan.

+1 !! same here...I couldn't even approach that level of talent! It's amazing any way you look at it!

Hmm, I think you might be right that he does resemble Enos but you still have a million times more talent than me so I don't have the right to be critical. He's still a work of art and so is the car. Thanks for posting the pictures. 

Got Rosco painted and installed!  He ended up looking more like Enos than Rosco, but I don't really have any control over that.  Since this was the first time I ever painted a driver figure, I'm pretty happy with how he came out.

And I'll testify that you are very skilled at it. In fact, I'll even say that you are outstanding in your field!

Looks Great! ( I wish I could do stuff like that!)
* I'll just have to settle for drinking  'shine out on the back 40!!  

Well, Roscoe's car is done(ish)!  I still need to paint and install Roscoe and I think I'm going to swap to the larger "sheriff" decals on the fenders and quarters, but otherwise,  it's done!




The windshield is thinner than I'd prefer, but it seems to look good.  Hopefully it holds up. 

I don't love the large wheels and low profile tires, but the center caps help sell it.  Down the road I may design wheels that use the VTA style tires.

A nice pair!

Fantastic! You are a true artist and skilled craftsman! Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Looks good

For what it's worth, I'm most of the way through Season 2 and my results are mixed.  I recalled Season 1 looking pretty good, but Season 2 has so much MPG compression that it's very distracting.  Massive pixelation and very poor color depth.  To be honest, most of the episodes that I've found on Youtube look much better than this DVD does, which makes me think that there's still got to be a higher quality set out there that everybody was ripping to put onto youtube.

Does anybody have feedback on the various DVD sets for the series that are available?  I see a set from 2020 that is in Wal Mart and Amazon that looks like this:

And another that looks like this:

 
Is anybody familiar with both sets and have any feedback about the difference?  I've heard that one of them may be in 16:9 instead of 4:3.  I'd prefer the original 4:3.
 
I have the Season 1 DVD, but it won't play in my blue ray player, 9nly on my PC, so I want to get a new complete set, but I want to avoid the 16:9 ratio.

Looking good. As always, thanks for keeping us updated. Great progress! 

I just realized that the last picture that's supposed to show the rear mounts was a repeat of the front mount.  I can't go back and edit it anymore, but anyway, here's the picture of how the rear interior mount is done with the painted washer at the bottom of the body post:
