Had an Idea February 19, 2005, 03:10:10 PM I've been playing around with some paint scheme ideas for a while and yesterday I came up with this one. I'm linking since the pic is kind of big. Tell me what you think. Click Here for Pic Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #1 – February 19, 2005, 06:21:29 PM I vote green with an "02" on the side, the union flag and "General Grant" :) Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #2 – February 19, 2005, 07:37:53 PM thats weird I was thinking the exact same thing with the 02 and the general grant earlier. Might be cool to do it to an actual charger. Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #3 – February 19, 2005, 08:02:29 PM Guys I couldn't do a General Grant. Seeing as how I live in NC, that would be blasphemy. Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #4 – February 19, 2005, 08:15:30 PM DO It!! Someday I would like to restore a real general lee. That would make an excellent tribute. That was by far my most favorite show of all time. Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #5 – February 19, 2005, 08:26:37 PM There is a general lee running aroung where I live. Roll cage, welded doors, push bar and all. :ies: Then there is a small two door hatch back from the early 80s that has 0.1 painted on it. Quote Selected

Re: Had an Idea Reply #8 – February 20, 2005, 05:43:32 PM too much but i understand the reason for no 02 Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #9 – February 21, 2005, 10:42:41 AM I guess with some black turbines from a 1988 XR7 that would be kinda cool. Maybe. :) Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #10 – February 21, 2005, 11:02:09 AM Quoteit would make me cryQuoteMDJi281,I'll cry with you.........a lot.Well I wouldn't want to see two grown men cry! I didn't think about the black turbines, pro-five-oh. That's actually a similar looking wheel to the one that was on the General Lee. Ya know if I had the money to do something like that I probably would just for the hell of it. Then I'd buy another Cougar to drive every day. Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #11 – February 21, 2005, 11:50:36 AM Not a bad idea, but there can only be one General!! lol :ies: Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #12 – February 21, 2005, 11:58:53 AM Yeah... I like it about as much as I like the idea of a Starsky & Hutch Cougar/T-bird. Retrofitting paint schemes just doesn't work well when it goes across platforms. Quote Selected
Re: Had an Idea Reply #13 – February 21, 2005, 11:59:53 AM That's one of the reasons I have such a passion for the turbine wheels... they look classic. I see them as a subtle connection to the muscle car era. Don't paint it like that, Jim. I think you would get unwanted attention like I did when I had a "dixie horn" on my '86 (yes, I did).
