September 24, 2025Sep 24 Im not sure if this fits better here or in fan art, but, I'm starting a new project. I bought a 1:25 scale 68 Charger at Hobby Lobby. There were, unfortunately, no 69 in stock, with no nearby hobby stores. And buying models online is a gamble that I don't want to risk. I'm going to try my best to turn it into The General! So if any of you have any tips, tricks, or recommend products, I would be very grateful if you could share!
September 24, 2025Sep 24 You can see various documented model builds in the Hobbies forum. You might pick up some tips there.
September 24, 2025Sep 24 Author Hopefully everything works out and it actually becomes The General and I don't have to use plan B and make my own car
September 25, 2025Sep 25 They used some '68 Chargers in the show, so it's still authentic. The main differences between the '68 and '69 Chargers are the front grille, the rear lights and the side markers. You can sand off the side markers (as they did with the real ones). You can probably fabricate the front grille divider (they had center pieces to clip to '68 grilles on some cars in the show). The tail lights will be trickier to change.
September 25, 2025Sep 25 Author You are so helpful omg. My dad has a 3d printer so I could probably ask him to help me withsome sort of conversion kit and then that just leaves the painting and decals (which are all in Europe for some reason??) So I hope the international shipping isnt too expensive. And I cant decide if I wanna paint the mechanical bits or not. Do I save money and just cover them up, or say f*** it and have a pretty build
September 26, 2025Sep 26 Author Okay, so I went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame today, and it made me seriously want to make my own race car....but also the general....but custom.....i cant decide anymore!
September 26, 2025Sep 26 So, are you going to turn your kit into a Charger Daytona? I don't know much about 3D printing, but www.printables.com has downloadable files for a General Lee including the push bar.

With that, might as well just build the whole thing and make my 68 something different and then have two cars......but thats more money......oh the descions!
October 29, 2025Oct 29 Author Im alive! But unfortunately things didt work out when buying TNT Express paint so we're switching gears to making a custom car. I bought some spray paint at a walmart and got a nice blue and some silver for the engine. Anybody have any other paint ideas? (Ex: racing stripes) The blue is "Brilliant Blue" I think.

I just sometimes forget this is here or never have anything to say The HazzardNet used to be a lot more active but now can see why it can be tough to think of things to say....but there are four ways to fix that. 1) reply to word association 2) reply to the A-Z thread 3) look through the thousands of threads laying around and revive one 4) be inventive and create something new. We are happy to have you as part of the family.
