I wouldn't trust the scans, because #1. these cars sat for 7 years between 1984-1991, and California sun is notorious for damaging skin, paint, etc. #2. They quickly painted over the car's original paint. and out of the survivors, one was Gold, one was Burgundy, another was Turquoise. #3. Everyone claims to be a paint expert. it's been claimed by multiple names. #4 ties to #1, but various waxes, polishes and environmental factors can cause a faulty result. (at one point my wife and I had an 06' Chevy HHR and 07' Chevy Trailblazer, were painted by the factory in Imperial Blue Metallic, and my Trailblazer looked lighter in color)

*IF* I was ever to build a General Lee, I would most likely use Hugger Orange, as that is what is said in Tom Sarmento's book "The Man behind the General Lee"

I've always wanted a general Lee. Doubt I'll ever have that kind of money. But, as far as color is concerned, I think I would get some scrap steel and cut it into maybe for or five squares.... then spend a little time and a little extra work and money... and spray out those four or five colors and choose the color that works for ME! No sense in arguing about it... in the end, it's your car. Choose the orange that you like best!!

As being a lifelong painter myself most of everything he's saying is true. Solid colors are easier to match than metallic colors. Different colored primer underneath makes a difference plus also how many coats of paint that you put on it also makes a big difference. You can have some leftover paint for a car and then use that same paint out of the same can to respray one of the panels and it might not match perfectly. Especially when metallics are involved. Then you have to run the exact same air pressure spray pattern but it is a complicated science

Hey Johnny your General is beautiful. I had one it had a 360 with long tube headers. I wrapped them with that heat tape. Also put those locking header bolts in so they wouldn't get loose. My question to you is dont they make shorty headers for big blocks? Man even ground down that header is way to close to the power steering hoses. Yikes! I dont think you have the room to wrap them either. Been watching your channel for a while now. Makes me miss my General terribly, he was stolen from me in '14. I just cant afford getting another unless I get stupid which is how I got my 1st one. I got mine in '02 paid $3000 for him. He was just a shell with an engine in him . I only had sn $8000 budget and it took me a little over 2 years to get him where I could I could drive him. Maiden voyage was dukesfest '04, I even got to go around the track! God I miss that car so bad. I met all the surviving cast many times. John and Byron both drove my car. Hope you get to have lots of fun with yours. Happy new year! Yee haw!
