Rebuilding "General Lee" Replicas Means Business

By Core Jr - August 11, 2005

What started out as a hobby for two brothers has become a full time business rebuilding '69 Dodge Chargers into the iconic "General Lee" from the 80's tv series, The Dukes of Hazard. The current hollywood schlockbuster has caused a spike in interest, as these brothers scour the country for authentic Charger models to convert.
"Aside from the orange paint ... and a few accouterments, the differences between a stock '69 Dodge Charger and a General Lee are few. A General can be converted back to a factory-correct Charger fairly easily."
