[@boerharms2209]

the hotwheels 69 Charger casting used to have an opening hood, due to cost cutting that feature was removed. Mattel being cheap, they didnt change the interior piece, so the engine is still there Cool custom BTW, the General is such an iconic car! too bad greenlight still hasnt done one in the hollywood line..

[@Nero62CustomDiecast]

Oh wow, that makes sense. Thank you!!! If Greenlight made one that would be awesome.

I have one of those with an opening hood it’s a dark red with black hood. The wheels have began to rust but I’m gonna do some maintenance soon

I'm so jealous... Mine looks like a General Lee fresh out of hell... I've have it since I was a boy and I've tried to send it in to be fixed but something in my heart just won't let me. I feel like Im gonna send it in to be fixed the day I have a child so the car can bring him as many years of joy as it did me.

[@Nero62CustomDiecast]

All those dents dings and scratches in it are all special little details and memories specific to you and that car, that's awesome.. Your child will definatly need their own to make their own memories with with it.

I would like someone to restore my old general Lee an daisy duke jeep

[@adamconrod5199]

You Make it look so easy when in fact its hard. I Did the same and when your Drilling the old Rivets out is actually hard to do because the old Rivets from the car is actually hard to drill out because the Rivets are actually Round and its hard to hold the Drill straight without sliding off the top of the Rivets. Taking the Pant off the car is easy even "Old Floor Stripper" will take the old paint off the car but you should always put Primer on your Model before painting it so the paint actually sticks good. The Deckles for The General Lee for a Dinky is actually hard to find. ! But this is a good Hobby to do if you have time on your hands.

[@HistoricAxis5]

I have a Charger very similar to this and it’s hood opens revealing the engine inside I think they just used the same interior piece for the non opening hood molds too just to make it easier hence urs had the engine hidden under the hood
