If I am not mistaken (this happens a lot, mind you), those "holes" are actually supposed to be turn signal indicators. My friend at work has a Chrysler 300 of that vintage with indicators on the fenders and I've seen those indicators as a trend on a lot of Dodge/AMC/Chrysler cars of that era.

Your paint looks great and the decal application as well. I can't wait to see what you accomplish with this horrible model! (sorry, I've built a few of these and know what a crappy model it is with it's inaccuracies and design flaws)

Excelente Trabajo!!!
me gusto mucho, ese mismo lo tengo en Stand By

I liked a lot :wink:

Sorry, but I Don't understand. The turn signal indicators in the middle of the hood?
Thanks for reply, and yes, this monogram model it's a real shit

This is the best I could find. These are the signals you thought are vents.

Looking good so far. Paint is really shiny. I made one of these without the decals. I know the problems with the kit, the rear window is for the Charger 500 not the regular Charger that the Dukes of Hazzard used but you can get a reasonable result as the shape is generally good. My brother Viccario put a thread on for mine for me before I got on the web. The link follows:

That's Luke, should have painted his hair black. lol

Looks like Luke's also wearing disco hot pants (maybe he borrowed them from Daisy?!)

Seriously though, good result on what i know is a tough kit to make look good.

actually believe it or not as far as i know there is no accurate kit out there!
cause the real general lee is suppose to be a race car as in... doors welded shut, no door handle, 426 hemi, driver seat only ... no passanger seats!!!, etc...
i also posted a link here at af under the dodge charger section more about the car!!!
ill get a link up later for you guys of a thing i found on the internet years ago about the general lee!

Very well done. It takes some real talent to make this car look good, and you have done so.

Very quickly; it's for the Friday in the morning:

Cool build! I grew up on the Dukes and still like watching old episodes.

Very cool! Now you just need a speaker to sound the horn.
