In 2005 before the movie came out my wife gave me the green light to change it into the general lee for the movie premiere here in Omaha. I will probably keep i this way for a few more years then either sell it or restore back to original.
        That's friggin' sweet, man...that one would be a keeper for me...no doubt.

        I'm restoring a 64 1/2 Mustang coupe myself...not going too original though...it's going to be a little bit of a restomod.

        Thanks for the picture...what a beauty!

          Wow, what a shock. No, not really.

          Anyhoo...

          A few products from the official WB online store.

          The flag is still there.

          Bo and Luke promo photo. Nice shot of the flag.

          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            You're so naieve Scott. If it's posted on the internet, it must be true. That's the rule.

                I dunno,

                Like I said, I always try to look at things from all points of view.

                Most people that complain about things being too PC are usually on the majority side.

                Forgive me, but I love a good debate and always grab the underdog position

                      Looking at your car jacsfc, for me the flag has nothing to do with it. It is just but one of the features that makes the General Lee one of the baddest ***** cars of all time. For me it's the General Lee and the 66 batmobile that hold the fondest of memories.

                        This burns me up to no end!

                        You know what, who CARES if some people are offended by it. Freedom of speech includes the right to offend. I'm pretty sure England was offended 200+ years ago when we told the King to get bent. It's the very principle this country is built on. People can't even have an opinion anymore without making a public apology for it later. Screw that. Say what you mean, mean what you say, and let those that are offended be damned!

                              U Guys think thats bad, here in the Uk, U cant even fly the "union jack" outside your house, just in case U might offend the ethnic minorities , and its kinda looked on as racist, and would be asked to take the flag down by the police. Can U imagine if U Guys werent allowed to fly your flag, and I know U love too.

                                No way, for real ?

                                I bet it's the opposite in Poland
                                (meaning Polish people are always overly proud)
