* 2 - general lee by JL chargers bodies
* Lifelike ford f-350 pick up truck - uncle jesse truck (cannot find any older ford f-150 truck)

Hey Wes, try searching Ebay auctions for "Mini Lindy" model kits.....there is a late 60's-early 70's Ford truck that they produced.......so that would work perfect for Jesse's truck man :thumbsup:
As for Boss Hogg's Caddy......email Claus Huepel........Claus has a resin mid 70's Caddy Eldorado body. It's a hardtop model.....but you could easily turn it into a convertible using a "Wierd Jack" universal interior kit perhaps :thumbsup:
GREAT,fun looking project.....

Faller made a mid 60's Caddy convertible. Dunno if it fits Tjets, but they had their own chassis similar to a Tjet... they turn up fairly often on Fleabay, just do a search for "cadillac" in vintage HO slots... here's a couple pics:

BTW, what an INCREDIBLY cool project. I never get that far when I try to do movie theme cars. I have a few incomplete sets where I ran out of steam on the project after the first couple cars...

edit: just read the post about Claus' Eldorado. I have one and it's AWESOME...
joez870 07-07-2005, 08:20 PM Wes, very slick, bud! That roadside inn should be "The Hogs Breath" though, right?
Dang that is a sweet set up! Congrats!
sethndaddy 07-07-2005, 09:51 PM I just picked up an Austin Powers diaroma to be one "scene" on my one day platform.
