HossC Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Just finished my version of Daisy's 1971 Road Runner. Technically her car was originally a 1974 Road Runner, and the later car (as depicted here) was actually a Satellite painted with the '74's Road Runner stripes.Like with the General Lee artwork, I've taken a bit of artistic license here. I've added Road Runner decals to the grille, trunk and stripes, and since I haven't found a clear screen grab of the actual wheels, I've fitted it with period Mopar wheels that it could have left the factory with. The white letter Goodyear Polyglas GT tires are also my addition. Roth Potter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Thanks y'all. I've noticed the logos came out very small, so they're hard to make out. I have enlarged them (below) so you can see what you're missing.I also wondered what Cooter might have done to the Road Runner if he'd ever got his hands on it .

EDGEFIND Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Excellent. My first car was a '71 Satellite, which I still have. I remember watching the Dukes as a kid and fell in love with Daisy's car back then. Season 1 holds a special place in my heart because of it. You did it justice here.

Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 OK, I know I'm late to this thread, but I had to mention that the idea of an '02' dukes car is brilliant! Of course for clarity's sake on a tv show it probably makes more sense to have distinct painjobs for different characters, but its still a fun idea. If there was ever an updated series with another generation of Dukes, I could see a late model muscle car with an 02 scheme making sense.

Meadowmufn Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I always wanted there to be a General Grant, navy paint job, American flag on the top, 02 on the side (or a historically significant number). I think many years ago I'd seen something similar to that. A yin to the Lee's yang, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 This might be a game, but do you mean something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowmufn Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 This might be a game, but do you mean something like this? Yes, that's exactly it. In fact, I saw an actual car like that once, complete with the 76 number. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Now I remember, he made that car after some pictures he saw of it. But Those pictures aren't on the internet anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Seeing as this thread has been revived, I thought I'd refresh my original artwork. I was never happy with the shade of yellow I ended up with, and the wheels are wrong. This is only a light makeover - I've removed the black outlines, removed the chrome from the wheel arches, and added the chrome panel under the door. The bumpers and side markers have been completely re-done and I'm now happier with the wheels and body color. I might refresh the front and back views in the future.There are a few General Grant pictures online, with various numbers on their doors. I've stuck with "76" like the car in the video posted by Roth. Spike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B / Scooter Davenport Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 The GG is fun but I find it interesting how the U.S. flag doesn't lend itself to a car rooftop as well because of the asymmetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hope nobody takes offense to this but after reading Mark's comment my brain thought this up for the General Grant Charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
