I don't know what you said about decals, whether you are painting them on or buying a sticker kit but a member is selling the whole set for a very reasonable price shipped.

Car looks great BTW!!!   Looks like this shop is about to have its 15 minutes of fame.

JB,
That sticker set, where did you originally get it?  I need that specific General Lee script(font)
I have a set that I just put on my car and will stay there because they were a gift from Jim Shine, but I wouldn't mind having a spare set with the likeness of the 05' movie. 
thanks
Mike

Mike, to be totally honest with you, I don't know.. They came with my car, and since I'm having my graphics painted on, I knew I wouldn't need them any more.. Someone on a GL site said they were from Jake, but I can't confirm this... One guy said they must be Tony's because I didn't have the crossflags in my kit.

I wish I knew someone that was in the area of BK's "shop"..

It makes me wonder, is the sign still up?

It's been in front of us this entire time... BK Auto stands for BONDO KING AUTO... 

[Ghoste]

Bondo King. 
Now that's funny.

[General_01]

Now you know where all the hours of work put into their cars comes from. It takes a long time to shape a block of bondo into the form of a car.

[FLG GF]

Woah! Thats really gay id get pissed off to the max! Good Luck with it.

Welcome, Jans!! I'm glad to see this is making it's way around the world...

And things are about to get quite a bit more interesting.. You die-hard guys should recognize this site??

http://www.freiburgersjunkyard.com/blog/General-Lee-Clone-Total-Butchery.html



Here's a clip of the article on their home page:

It's one of those message board threads that gains steam overnight and goes totally viral. We know that's going to happen with this 30-page tome over at DodgeCharger.com. The funny thing is we're going to have the first hand inside line on this car for you in a couple of days.

Here's the deal.

A guy from the board bought a General Lee from a private seller down South who had paid a "professional" shop to build it for him. It ran the original owner nearly $100,000 for the build, which, outwardly, provided a good looking example of the iconic car.

Owner number two scored the car for what was a killer price and then took it home to enjoy. He got to do that exactly once before taking the car into a great shop that's nearby our East Coast office here in the 'burbs of Boston, Mass. The owner was looking to have the rollbar looked at.

Once Jon Sandahl of Tube Chassis Designz did that, he called in the owner of the car and started showing him the level of butchery involved with the entire car. The "rollbar" was tack-welded to the floor and was apparently built of exhaust tubing. Amazingly, that's not even close to the worst thing discovered. Rotted rear framerails coated in fiberglass? Yes. Reverse lights grounded to the gas tank? You bet! Sounds like more of an accurate movie-car clone than the guy was banking on.

The good news is that Jon is one of the most talented fabricators and builders we've ever met. Normally he works on small-tire drag cars, alky Funny Cars, and other chassis work for racers. Restoring cars like this is not his normal line of work, but we're excited for him as this thing is going to be a work of art once he's done. It's pure coincidence that we had contacted him about a week ago about heading down to his shop to shoot photos and bring you some neat info on some of his projects. He told us about the Charger and frankly we can't wait to see this thing in person!

Hit the DodgeChargers.com thread here and grab a cup of coffee or a beer and read the 30 pages of pretty amazing stuff, complete with photos of the hackery. The guy who built the car even responds a few times.

To his credit, the current owner has not gone completely nuts, instead taking the tact that he got the car for a good price and he's now having it finished by a very capable guy.

Look for an update on this right here on FJY.com by the end of this week!

Hey Jeff, I'm going to try and get some more dirt on here soon so stay tuned.  Did you get in touch with my friends in Texas ?      I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve.    Keep those pics coming.    It's funny how I've done so much for someone I've never met and got nothing in return.     So do me this one favor, send me a piece of junk pulled from your car that BK Automotive "fixed" and we can call it even.    Just the size of a penny will do.        Chuck........

You've got it, Chuck, there's PLENTY of those...

In fact, I've got something better I can send you.. I'll send you a PM. I think you'll be happy!!

And don't think for ONE SECOND that I don't appreciate everything you've done -- It's far more then I ever would have expected.. 

I did contact your friend at the Controller's office, I'm waiting for some news back now... I was also contacted today, by an attorney who "saw this message board" that wanted to represent me in a case against BK... VERY interesting people that come here, I must say that.. Why? He wanted to do it 100% free of charge. 

Stay tuned, the pictures will keep rolling in.

Lookie, Lookie!  I wonder who the message sender was??

That's great!! What I'd like to see, now, is how many sites OUTSIDE THE US word is spreading about BK.. Mainly because so many of their scams are shipped outside of the US to people who have no leg to stand on.

I also got word this morning that BK (Burger King) has a new perfume out that smells like The Whopper(nasty!!). If BK(Bondo King) ever got really desperate, they could come out with their own Bondo scented perfume line, I'm sure it would sell like wildfire!!

Good catch! Fortunately, it's a hyperlink directly to the thread/forum, but I'll mention that to him now.
