Introducing.. The General Lee

As I walked around the car looking at a General Lee in the garage that I know is mine, it dawned on me that the end of this project, and the end of this blog, is drawing closer. With just little things left to accomplish on the car, I feel I don't need to bore the world or the reader of this blog book with minor things. I have one more big thing to do that might come next weekend that I've been waiting for for almost 5 years. To be continued...

Today we got to play with stickers. The door, and General Lee script went on without a hitch. The rebel flag ended up with some wrinkles that will need to be shrunk. I can live with it since it is on top of the car and not the sides.

Putting the decals on we used the soap and water method. First we taped where the decals needed to be. Then just spray and squeegee.. Spray and squeegee.

Grill & Push Bar

Today's focus was getting the grill back on the car and the push bar mounted and secured.

When I went to the paint shop and seen the grill was out I was not too happy. Sure I understood that it might have been necessary, but I was just not looking forward to putting it back in. Needless to say we got it after only a few cuss words.

Next was the push bar. We had it already marked from when we tried it before, so we just had to out it back. I welded it into place on the frame and bolts will be in place there too.

Onward!!

Push Bar

Just prepping the push bar so it is ready when I pick the car up from getting the little touch ups fixed. Expecting a call by Wednesday.

Exterior chrome

I'm just putting all the exterior trim on the car. Once I get that on there I'll be taking the car back to get resprayed at the paint shop. Winter is closing in, but this weeks projects mid 70's!!

After a couple days

I've had a few days away from the car and (although it still irks me about the back panels) I am loving seeing the car orange. The Big Bad Orange paint is just great. My boys love it!

I'm putting the chrome back on the car. I can't put the grill back on because I'm taking the car back for another paint spray in a couple weeks. I'm mad that they took the grill out because they snapped a couple plastic connectors on it. I worked my butt off to get that grill looking good and painted things all nice... I found today that there is a lot of over spray and my efforts of painting around that grill was for nothing.

I am painting the drum breaks for a small accent behind the wheels ( hemi orange ). I'm waiting on the lug nuts to come in to put the Vectors back on the car.
Onward!!!!
