K&F Show #145: DEEP DIVE: There were TWO General Lee’s in The Awesome 1992 Film Forever Young!

As announced in this episode, Holley is not only the official EFI source for Kibbe and Friends and is the PROUD sponsor of this episode, but they are also giving away a crazy twin supercharged LS engine stuffed with every aftermarket part you can think of! The parts alone are over $20K - and all you need to do to have a shot at it is to enter the contest! Here's the link. Go get it! https://bit.ly/KAFS-Holley-LS-Sweepstakes.
The DEEP DIVE: After the last episode, you knew it was coming. This is a full review of the 1992 Mel Gibson movie, Forever Young. This is the one where Mel is a test pilot in 1939, gets cryogenically frozen for a year to avoid the pain watching his girlfriend die in a hospital slowly, and then waked up over 50 years later to find out he was abandoned by everyone he knew and loved. Only he wasn't.....and if you love history, romance, flying, and Chargers you'll absolutely love this movie. The audio alone is with your time. Yes....we believe the last "Sound Stage" General Lee is the car in this movie, and yes, that's the primary reason we reviewed it. However, this movie gets a Perfect 10 from ALL OF US for just being a great, fun, enjoyable story to watch and enjoy!
OK....with that said, the deep dive on the Chargers in this film is somewhat exhaustive and definitely sickening. We can absolutely say FOR SURE that there were two Generals used in the movie, as documented in the episode. Remember, Warner Brothers kept the "Sound-Stage" car as well as one Hero car. The Sound Stage car was a '68 Charger faked to look like a '69 (grille and taillight changes), and the Hero car was a '69. We feel pretty certain that the '68 was used for the bulk of the movie....except for two interior scenes.
Remember these words: DOME LIGHT.
Patreon Peeps, for the month of April we're planning to do a LIVE call for the Q&A show - so be on the lookout!

The DEEP DIVE You Never Asked For and Possibly Do Not Want: Since the dawn of time man has wondered what really happened to all the General Lee's from the Dukes of Hazzard TV series. We've been told through folklore that 19 cars remained and 17 were sold into private hands in 1991, with Warner Brothers keeping the remaining two. The problem is....there's enough proof out there to indicate that when the series ended in 1985 that there may have been MORE than 19 General still alive....and that they may have found their way to other productions. This is our way too involved attempt at solving these mysteries once and for all. Plus....it's a great distraction from COVID-19. Enjoy.
Patreon Peeps, the March Q&A show is now LIVE as is the Prize Grab!

If you followed the development of this bar for Kibbe Lee last year you know that the "forward lean" look, raised lower bar, width, and everything was taken into account. This is the second version of the bar developed just to achieve the right level of awesome nerdness, It is SUPER SWEET and will be made off the same jig that made the bar for Kibbe Lee.

This is the 5th Coy and Vance episode. In the wake of the huge previous deep dive episodes on screen used Generals....getting back to reviewing regular episodes is kind of an emotional let down. This one is fine, I suppose. The gist of it is that the Bosses of the neighboring counties to Hazzard are, like Boss Hogg, also corrupt. They are unhappy that a new highway bypass keeps visitors out of their territories - and directly into Boss Hogg's. You know the drill from here. The Dukes save him, despite their best interest. There's a side-by-side car jump between the General and a Bad Guy car that is cool. If you like vintage VHS cameras, there's something for you here as well - hey hey! Otherwise....this one is easy to forget.
