  1. Awesome, I will look that up and see what it looks like. Just picked up a 4 pin sight from ebay and it looks good but im not sure exactly if that one is it either. They made several different deerslayer sights depending on the year I think. I just picked up another bow from ebay with a different deerslayer sight from the two I have. At least I will have a few to choose from
  2. I purchased a martin warthog bow a year or so ago. I have been told its in very good condition but was missing some stuff. I picked up the 8 arrow quiver but I had to purchase another old bow to get it but it is the correct one at least. A friend of mine brought me s martin deerslayer sight and I put a new arrow rest on it too. Was wondering if anyone knows exactly what sight was used on the one in the show? I got the 3 pin deerslayer sight on it now and it looks good but I don't think that was the one. Definitely a cool old school wood bow. Just trying to get as close as I can to the one on the show.
  3. Watched the very first episode in January 1979. I was 4 years old. Man that was a long time ago
  4. Well I haven't been here in a bit. The business we opened up wound up doing very well but taking up a lot of time as well but it is what it is. Wanted to answer the question that it isn't the one in north Carolina. I live in a small town called Plainville in Georgia, its between Rome and Calhoun. The garage/boars nest im talking about is just outside of Shannon ga towards Kingston Ga. The guy has a General Lee, a 69 F350 cooters tow truck, a daisy jeep and a hazzard patrol car. The garage is awesome and the boars nest is built to the RH side of the garage. Has the correct jukebox and pinball machine as seen from the show. Even has the machine that has the huge bands that Boss Hogg was using to shake the fat away lol. It's really neat how far he has put into it as in detail. He also has a toy section and there is alot of cool stuff there too.
  5. The address is Kingston GA. May be able to Google it and see if anything pops up. It's just off a tiny two lane road. It's oddly placed but still the coolest dukes place I have seen. He is setting up shelves and display cases looks like to show his collection of dukes memorabilia as well.
  6. I haven't been here in awhile. Life happens and so I quit my job and started my own business. Anyway just recently I was told of a museum close to where I live that was like the Boars Nest. Literally 20 minutes from my house out a little 2 lane road was this awesome spectacle. It is Cooters garage from the California episodes and it is very much tv accurate. To the RH side he has built a screen accurate Boars Nest and when I say it is screen accurate I mean down to the original juke box and pinball machine. Boss's office has the pool table and the big sword fish on the wall. I can't figure out how to post pics on here since I'm just not great with that kinda stuff but I got a clip of the inside of the Boars Nest and several pics of the outside right down to the red Hoggoco gas pumps out front. The guy has a daisy jeep and a patrol car. The general lee is in the paint shop and he also has a Cadillac and a wrecker in the works too. It's hard to explain in words just how awesome this place looks but it is really cool
  7. I check in from time to time. I just don't hang on my phone like I used to. I quit Facebook in 2020 and I quit tik tok in 2022 I think. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you limit your time on the net.
  8. It's pretty cool, we set it up back in October and watched movies outside for most of the month of October and had a fire pit going and cooked out. We had a cheap projector and some computer speakers then. It worked good but I got a nicer projector and some big speakers for Christmas. It's really nice now. With the wet and cold of the winter time I moved the screen to the inside of the garage. I put casters on the frame I built so it would roll in and out. It is neat to have your own little movie screen if you want to watch something on a big screen
  9. 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!!!
  10. Not from any of the chargers, the first three were painted in California and then delivered to Georgia already painted but they did not have the flag or the 01 and general lee letters on them. I haven't looked at those old work orders in years but best I can remember one was on the blue Plymouth fury, one was on the gray Ford in high octane and one was for a police car.
  11. The General Lee is always going to be my favorite TV car. My next favorite car is the 70 dodge challenger from the original vanishing point movie. Then the 70 Charger from the first Fast and the Furious movie. Then the yellow Ford coupe from American graffiti. Then Kitt from knight rider. The Volkswagen beetle from the bumblebee movie and the 76 camaro bumblebee from the first transformers live action movie 07.
  12. 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.
  13. I have been collecting 80's toys since the late 90's. Got a fairly big dukes collection as well as transformers from the 80's and literally up til now. I have some of the OG masters of the universe stuff and some of the repop stuff from the last couple of years. Got some knight rider stuff and fall guy stuff. A decent amount of the old stomper trucks and several of the stomper track sets. Still have my bmx bike from the 80's and recently picked up a very decent DK General Lee bicycle. Just enjoy remembering the best childhood anyone could have ever asked for.
  14. I'm a fan of the Friday the 13th series. My favorite of all the movies is part 2. I really like the Ginny character, she was tough and a fighter for sure. The original comes in for a close 2nd place. My favorite Jason is from part 6. Not knocking Hodders Jason but C.J. Graham played the part differently from any other actor. Something about his Jason is different from the rest. And part 6 was filmed in covington too
  15. I have an odd list I suppose but I'm odd myself 1. Vanishing Point 1971 2. Evil Dead 1981 3. Smokey and the Bandit 4. The Fast and the Furious 5. In the heat of the night 1967
