Random Restoration Mondays Ertl Replica General Lee Car Dukes of Hazzard

When I posted my General Lee version of the Batmobile from the new Batman movie I had a viewer request for a restoration of a General Lee and since I had this Ertl General Lee waiting for a restoration I decided this Random Restoration Monday was the perfect time to freshen it up.

Fantastic restoration Ron!!! Classic tv show car from my youth, that I still have, though in very playworn shape. Never get tired of seeing them restored, because everyone puts the extra effort in on them. And yours came out great sir.

[@jamesoldaker2434]

Thanks Ron for the great restoration of the General Had the same car when I was a kid , and one of my favorite TV shows of my youth

Very good restoration of The General Lee my friend very iconic car from a very good TV show everything looks fantastic the Orange is perfect and everything like that keep up the great work Ron have a good one and God bless

[@SummerRoseRacing]

That is definitely a huge turn-around from its original condition Ron! 🥰 And thanks for sharing the information about those Rustoleum Chrome Pens, I will be looking into those now! 🥰 I am curious about one thing, will you be doing any videos about setting up, what to get, etc. for your hydrogen peroxide UV lamp bath for yellowed plastics? That is one thing that I definitely want to add to my restoration and customisation setup. 🥰🥰

[@zeldadiecastracing]

So awesome restoration work bro

[@neilcummings9939]

ah the general Lee one of the most iconic and coolest cars ever. I'm a 77 baby so wouldn't remember if I had this as a kid but I do have a couple older castings of this car packed away so may have one. hope you and yours had a great easter

[@SoMoDiecast]

Thanks Neil, great Easter and looking forward to a great week!

Mean while back in Hazzard County town hall Rosko is negotiating with Boss Hogg for a new squad car to keep up with the Duke boy's and Daisy is entertaining Cooter. Nice work Ron, Cheer's JV

[@SoMoDiecast]

Keep your eyes peeled, there's a resto of Sheriff Rosco's car coming soon, lol!

[@itsurboy379]

[@Part-timeMoparcollector]

Amazing job it came out looking better than ever That makes me want to start on my three general Lee builds. I was the one who asked for a video like this so that way I can get motivated to do my General Lee's

[@SoMoDiecast]

Be watching for a few more Dukes of Hazzard restos. Thanks for watching!

[@banditta4life66]

Excellent job on the General Lee, Ron. I have 5 of them in progress and thinking about scoring a few more. Almost got one from ebay that came with 2 of the Hardee's Camaro race cars. Would have jumped on it if it was bandit t/a's lol. Gotta keep close to an equal amount of both lol. I really need to find a some of the Smokey's cars. Got 3 Hazzard police cars, including the Ertl which was originally done for the Smokey and the Bandit set. One of these days I need to get a printer so I can do some decals. But after losing my parents over the past year and a half, I'm just doing what I can to keep my head above water.

[@SoMoDiecast]

I understand keeping your head above water, building these little cars helps keep me sane. I have Rosco's Sheriff car and the video drops in a couple of weeks, Cooters Truck and Boss Hoggs Cadillac still searching for Daisy's jeep, lol. Hang in there and thanks for watching.

[@banditta4life66]

@@SoMoDiecast been a few of those jeeps on eBay but damn they are awfully proud of them by the prices they're asking. I had to repair my Greenlight Daisy's Jeep a couple weeks ago. It took a dive off it's display and broke the windshield and the rollbar. Luckily I was able to fix it and it looks as good as new again

[@joemiddendorf2076]

Looks great! Dou you clear coat after applying the waterside decals? I’m starting todo my own customs thanks!

[@SoMoDiecast]

Yes, I use a clear acrylic by Colorshots gloss on white and lighter colors and Minwax gloss clear on darker colors because it tends to yellow.

[@RedlineGarageHW]

Yeeehaaaaw!!!

[@mortenhenningsen940]

But what about doing å tesla,as a general-E. Like a future remake of the tv show 😂?

[@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE]

Do you have a link to the stickers sheet size ?

[@SoMoDiecast]

If you are referring to the decals I used, I created them.

[@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE]

@@SoMoDiecast do you happen to know the dimensions you used as far as size . Any info would be gladly appreciated.
