So... I'm new to this site so I'm not sure if this would be the correct spot to place this... But I've recently been watching The Dukes on Prime, currently in season 7, and I got to thinking about how my dad and I both love the show and how we both love General, I think it would be a huge undertaking and I know my dad won't be able to help me with it, which means I won't have that bonding time with him, but I've been thinking about pretty much building the General. I think it'll be a great way to learn about cars and their parts, but also to have a bit of a hobby, and reason to get my hands dirty. I'm kinda thinking about building two Generals though, one for me and one to surprise my dad with some day, he's wanted that car since I was a little girl sitting on the couch watching the show (reruns, I am a 90s baby/kid lol) with him. So my question is, to get the EXACT replica of General, what do I do? What would I need to research? Obviously, when doing this I'd have someone that knows about cars there to help me and explain things to me, but I want the General to be built right or there's no point. I know that it's a 69 dodge charger, (from what I've read though it's sometimes a 68 I guess) orange, confederate flag on top, 01 on the side, welded doors and stuff... But I need to know what's under the hood and what type of CB radio they use stuff like that... What tire brand and such. Is General an automatic or stick shift? I personally would have to do an automatic, I can't drive a stick shift, I've tried and literally almost died. Now, I don't speak car and driver, so I'm sure a lot of this will be lost on me... But any and all information and links to send me in the right direction would be amazing! Thanks y'all Ps- if y'all read this far... Thank you and I'm so sorry... I'm a struggle bus like you wouldn't believe Pray for me
