Very cool stuff, I like the color of the Charger, great idea with the figures, and as usual, your ingenuity is exceptional. Well done.

Nice work on this Michelle. I loved this show when it first came to air in 1979, mainly due to the way it was filmed. Most of the scenes were filmed outdoors which was unlike other shows on TV at the time. Also the use of a narrator kept the viewer in the loop. I personally would like to see this show redone, with the current Challenger SRT Hellcat as the new General Lee. Again, well done Michelle. 

Cheers,

David. ??

Thank you 
Dukes as well as all other shows at the time had all the interior shots of the actors in the vehicles driving done on a sound stage in front of a blue screen only knight rider had the actors filmed in the car while actually on the road driving and those cars had tow bar receivers attached to the bottom of the front end  so they could be attached to a camera truck they also attached cameras to the side windows to film the inside shots with the actors  from those angles 

if they did remake it they best set in the late 70’s early 80’s instead of trying to set it in the current time mainly cause it did not work so well last time they tried it on the big screen movie of the mid 2000’s and it did not work to well with the A-team movie or the 08/09 Knight Raider series which also had other contributing factors to why it did not succeed the only 3 classic series that did work well bringing it into the current times was the 2010-2020 Hawaii Five-0 and 2018-current magnum pi and the 2016-2021 macgyver but to do it they had to do a full reboot remake on all 3 from the characters to the way the series was set up and way it was written compared to the original versions

The Charger looks nice, but I have to say that nothing about the car or the show needs changed.

i have only watched two episodes of the original show a early episode and  late episode both were horrible all the actors were either wooden or phoneing it in and nothing was funny and none of it made sense to me and i saw the first half of the first theatrical film it was horrid also i had only watched it case i had just seen the first jackass movie and i wanted to see johnny knoxville in something else i  had found a dvd copy of that dukes movie at a yard sale for 5 cents and there was a second homemade dvd with those two episodes of the original show i ended up snapping both disks in half and shredded the dvd case artwork 
i later looked up more about the show only to find more about it that did not make sense both for the car and the backstory for the duke cousins
i also never liked country music  as it is just annoying noise to me so the theme was never fun to listen to plus most of the lyrics did not even make sense to the plot of the show and no other action show in the late 70's and 80's had theme songs with lyrics only family or group of friends  centered sitcoms and animated shows  did 
and a narrator/balladeer was not needed for a stand alone episode series a narrator at the start and end of a episode is really only needed on shows with a season or series long story arc like the pokemon anime or stargate universe or even the newer trek shows and on shows that had two or 3 part episodes or season cliffhangers which all are more recaps with either it starting with previously on then the recap or just a bunch of import scenes or dialogue from previous episodes at the start  and the end of said episodes a to be continued 
also i still think they would have got better actors for the show if they had set it in a small town in  california to start plus most of the action shows that were rivals of dukes were set in california as the main characters are based out of with one set in hawaii

Gotcha. The show isn’t for you, or maybe not for everyone. For those of us that like the show, and grew up watching it, there is nothing that needs “fixed”.

Interesting take on the car and color. Made it your own. Nice job.

[Crapy Builder]

Please let me apologize for that. I’m just an old die hard fan and I thought about that and came to my hearts conclusion that everyone has their own style and taste. Please except my sincerest apology.
