Hey y'all

I was watching Comrade Duke earlier and noticed something. As Coy and Natasha are returning to the General after leaving Cooters,the camera pans up and across the Generals front bumper/fender. Anyone else notice the two silvery grey smudges on the bumper?

It may sound crazy but I think this car was also used as the off roading General way back in season 2 (or at least the front bumper). Its only visible in the Hazzard Square scenes but its fairly obvious once you know about it.

Maybe someone can post a screencap or two of the different scenes?

Thanks y'all

Here's the raised General from 'Arrest Jesse Duke', and the front of the General from the scene you mentioned in 'Comrade Duke'. In the first one the silvery gray marks are outside the narrow pushbar. In the second they are inside the wider pushbar design. From a quick Google search it appears that the pushbars in the show were usually welded directly to the front bumper (most of the time they didn't need any real strength). Apparently this isn't recommended for people building replicas - maybe someone who owns a replica can comment on this. I'm guessing that the chrome finish on the bumper had been destroyed by having a different sized pushbar welded to it, and the silvery gray patches are a 'quick fix' paint job to cover this up.

There are some screen snaps of the bumper in the 4x4 shots outside Cooter's -- I think HossC posted them. Not too long ago. Try searching the threads for 4x4. As for shots with Coy and Vance -- haven't come across a one in here yet (although I'm new to town!!)
