When I was looking at my pictures of the Dukes I found this one with the doors opened.. lol. Like were the doors actually welded shut in most of the episodes or did they just use the windows and not weld the door shut?? Just wonderin

I think they probably just used the windows and didn't weld the doors...They may have had a few General's that may have had the doors welded but even John Schneider's General Lee's doors open so who knows for sure.

I heard them say that the doors were not in fact welded shut and occasionally when the car was out of the frame you can hear the door close. If you listen very carefully...

I remember a few of the episodes where I heard the doors close and I was just thinking that they must of forgot about it or something and that's why it wasn't taken out.

The only time the doors were actually welded shut were on the cars scheduled to be jumped to give the stuntman a extra measure of safety.Other than that they weren't welded. It drives me crazy at car shows when people come up to my General asking why it has door handles and they will stand there and insist that it didn't have them. Then I calmly pull out photos of actual Generals that I always carry with me and show them it had them,they just didn't use them.

If I have my way,this summer I'm going to a junk yard near by. my friend has an uncle who has this junk yard,and not one car was crushed in 20 yrs.

My friend told me he would help me pick a charger that has the least rust and not sitting on the ground,and pull off parts from other chargers to restore the one we find half decent.

He also said that I could have all the parts and everything for the cost of $100.00 plus the towing charge to bring it home. towing may cost me $200.00,but hey,it's worth it.

I don't have to tell you what I will be restoring it too huh???...lol

I even know a fellow who is good at air brushing,so I will be getting him to do the flag and decals for my general lee to be.! :D
