General Lee gave me some trouble from The Dukes Of Hazzard

- As it turns out they wanted the doors to open on this model, but the men in suits changed there mind because in the show the doors don't open. So they gave the order to the workers to glue the doors shut. But the boxes were allready printed "With opening doors, trunk, hood ... 😆 somebody that worked on this model saw this video on facebook and commented to me

It hurts my head watching this guy open the door It's almost like defacing a Rembrandt

[@HappyDude1]

I know right Or like hitting a curb with a nice set of rims

​@@HappyDude1hey man I'm a freaking huge fan of the show and I love that if you ever get one that's like damaged if I could I'd like to buy it from you thanks let me know my names Sam BTW

[@kenyates6047]

You too this guy ruined this thing since he opened the box!! Lol Ain't worth a nickle no more!! Send back tell them was dropped during shipping. Don't forget step on the box first!!!😉

Damn it!! Jesus it broke off!! Pretend

I have all the various general Lee 1/18 models and this particular one is the best of all AND you took a knife to it 😮😮😮

[@sixfiscaglietti4231]

Guuess you never saw Dukes of Hazzard.. . Trying to open the doors..... oh my.

[@HappyDude1]

I guess you did not saw the hole video?

He's a poser that thinks he knows about American culture

[@alexander1485]

On the show, the doors are welded shut... like a nascar with no doors... kinda why you had trouble opening them 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HappyDude1]

I know 😊 They were not welded on this model thank god

[@jkujat75]

Imagine if this moron had to put the decals on the car himself like I did....

[@raymondsheffield5366]

Dude..that version was GLUED SHUT from the factory!!!! You just damaged a $400 model and made it worthless. That angers me.

[@kenyates6047]

Me too!! He might as well took a propane torch and pry bar to open!! If that don't work step on it and they will open then. If that don't work throw across room. Then send back for a refund. Damaged during shipping!! Damn darn it Jesus Why am j so stupid just take my time and they'll open!!!!😭😭😭😭

[@corruptduboiscountyindiana5058]

dang you tore up the general lee, well you better take it to craaaazzyyy cooters to have him fix it up

[@HappyDude1]

No damage on the outside If i glue the doors back you don't see anything

[@JASON-oj4cm]

it will be very funny if they hide a small key to open the door 😂

[@HappyDude1]

They didn't i checked 😁

[@corruptduboiscountyindiana5058]

i guess the cover on top was to keep people from being offended

[@HappyDude1]

I think to protect it

[@MasterSandman]

​@@HappyDude1Not likely, because then a transparent piece would've been cheaper. No there's a rather stupid and ignorant anti-confederate thing going on, the last few years and the rebel flag is considered part of that. People claiming that showing the rebel flag is somehow racist and they've caused the show being pulled from TV broadcast/streaming. Model kits no longer showing the flag on the box, or even the build-sheet... This is so they can still put the model on display in the shops, without running the risk of someone getting "traumatized" by a side glance of said "offending" imagery! Sad but true... unfortunately...

[@AlvaroGarcia-u7i]

Thank you for the video. I have the same model and it came with the doors glued as well. I left them like that. This model is by far, the best General Lee representation ever made. I have another 1/18 from ERTL and it is a toy compared with this. By the way, the headlights can be turned to hide them. Greetings from Colombia.

[@HappyDude1]

@@AlvaroGarcia-u7i Oh really? Cool Let me check the lights on my model 😁

[@lago365]

@HappyDude1 They have a little upper cover that can be flipped down just like the real car.

[@landrysworkshop]

Anybody who watched the show knows the doors don’t open

[@thatoldtruckguy]

Obviously never seen the show the doors don't open

[@MichaelMyers689]

Technically these were mistakes in The Dukes of Hazzard where the doors on the General Lee accidentally did open but you were right the doors never did open because they were welded shut like an NASCAR

[@HappyDude1]

The designer contacted me and he said the managers wanted the doors closed But the designers did not agree and said it would be more fun to open them. So sadly they needed to put some glue on the doord

[@kenyates6047]

Damn it! It broke off and now it's all fucked up! Again listen take a torch heat up and use a pry bar to open!

[@kenyates6047]

Mr happy do you manhandle your old lady like that?? Damn back door. She probably said wrong hole! Sorry meant wrong door!!! Ha ha

[@ExternalStar]

There are more gentle ways how to open the door. If you don't want to ruin the paint around, you would at least use a towel around the screwdriver...lol

[@HappyDude1]

That's true but that didnt do any damage at all ☺ and It was like it was welded shut, like on the show

First of all the doors were welded shut in the show like nascars it hurts too see you just chip off the paint those go for alot of money these days low I have seen them go for about 300 or 290 it Hurst me to see you just use a tool to open the door

don’t blame the guy blame the company who was too lazy to add a sticker to the box “doors don’t open !!!” btw i have seen many on ebay autoworld with sellers having the doors open so wtf is going on if i was to buy one how would I know if the seller didn’t mess with the doors ?

[@HappyDude1]

You don't know 😆 There are a few that have opening doors and some are forced open like i did. .

[@MegaFrankgarcia]

FAST FACT: The General Lee's doors do not open, they are literally welded shut so they don't pop open when landing from a jump. Watch the show please.

[@HappyDude1]

True fact The were welded because it was a race car and that was required like in nascar. pls pay attention when you watch a show and a youtube video😉 But the main reason was because it was funny to see boss hog and jesse squeeze themself in there

[@kenyates6047]

I think you should of heated the door up first with a propane torch then used a pry bar . If that doesn't work throw it across the room. Maybe they will open then. Another idea step on the roof and then put back in box and ask for a refund!!! But first go to local hobby lobby and buy some orange paint to touch up! Good luck next time ask me for some advise first!!!

thanks for showing the box didn't lie but at the same time why use a knife on paint their not very strong tools when used as a pry bar. otherwise nice vid thanks for showing the car

Just to let you know I’m guessing the doors don’t open because that how it was in the movie

Gorilla glue works to glue the doors shut

[@HappyDude1]

After all that trouble i'm not going to glue it again 😅

[@jeremyheley4501]

Whyyyyy!! I’m cringing. Any model general lee made by almost any brand does not have opening doors it’s original to the show. If you actually disassemble the car you will find Inserts intentionally placed in the door jambs to keep the doors close however they are removable if you for some reason choose to have a general with opening doors.

[@HappyDude1]

No no It was glue Are you still alive ? 😀

[@kenyates6047]

Like I said use propane heat up door then pry with pry bar! If don't work get naked woman 300 pounds to sit in it!! They'll open then!!!!! Lol

The doors are glued shut with CA glue not meant to be opened like the tv show, you basically ruined a nice and rare diecast.

[@HappyDude1]

Why? I can always glue it back

[@kenyates6047]

Why oh why didn't you use the brain God gave you???? Just put back in box!! Just kidding!! Take a torch first then prybar to open the damn door. Then throw on the darn floor and jump on and then send back for your damn Jesus you damn door jammer!! Keep up the good work and keep chipping paint. I want you to show me how to detail a car!!!
