you might find that the font used for the "general lee" writing is maybe a fairly standard one, available on the web somewhere.

if it is, then it'd probably not be so critical to get a good scan of the text?

i've a black and white dk sticker here like the one on the top tube that i can scan for you too bud.

and have a look on the web for general lee car resto sites. might get some good pics of the text on there, it should (i'd assume) be very similar...

 :4_17_5: spoke to del , and working on these pics he is going to do the decals for me   :4_17_5: the reason i wont them ,1 is because im a huge dukes fan, but most of you know that, and 2 because back in 2000 i went to buy a dk general lee, it looked great, but was heavy hi-ten steel , and had a 18inch tt, so ive decided to use my 07 4pack to build my own  :daumenhoch: heres what del will use to do the decals, ive decided to use the real car and not the dk,



 :smitten:




thanks del for all the help,  :daumenhoch:

Are these any good to you? I made a 3D model of the General Lee a while ago (ZED may have seen some of my renders on one of the Dukes or Charger forums) and I had to make all the textures from scratch.
Also, a bit off topic but here's some renders I did of my 3D model, just for ZED as he is a fellow Dukes fan ;)

Thanks man, glad to share them with you. I was on www.DodgeCharger.com for a while when I was doing the 3D model and I know the guys there posted some of the images on the Dukes fan sites. I did lots of different versions, standard, drag, DMCL etc. Have a look at www.smcars.net, I think my thread is still on there showing all the renders.
I don't have an R/T decal image but I have just done these renders of the badges that I modelled for the 440 R/T version of the Charger, hope they are useful:

Nice 3D  :daumenhoch:

Cheers dude. Everything was done in 3D Studio Max and then rendered using the 'VRay' renderer, although I made the decal textures in AutoCAD and tweaked them in Photoshop. The renders of the car are straight out of Max with no post-work. I work in a Multi-Media studio, so at lunch times a few of us do 3D car models for fun. It took me a whole year of lunch times and evenings to do the Charger as I modelled everything - engine/interior/suspension, the lot. It's as close as I'll ever get to owning a real one!

Good luck with the DK build matey, sure it will look awesome :)
