FEATURE INTERVIEW:

Nathan Warren
Warren Customs LLC, Hamilton, Alabama

In this episode Nathan Warren came on to talk about the “season two” updates to my General Lee. It has been a year since Nathan came on the show to talk about the formation and goals of his business….and then offered to showcase his abilities by helping me to convert my car to a screen accurate version of how it would have appeared in Season 2 of the Dukes of Hazzard! Well, fast forward a year, and the car is now there and is in his capable hands. This episode is the update of everything related!

Some of the updates included painting the interior of the trunk orange, a complete re-do of the interior, painting the underhood area, creating a custom firewall cover to mimic what was used on TV, chroming things that were never meant to be chrome, changing out old trim for new, adding in reverse lights, etc.  You know, just a “few” little items.

The BIGGEST hurdle however was the creation of the pushbar on the nose of the car. The ones used in those early years were somewhat inconsistent, but we had a lot of photos of the generation we wanted to make.  This process  really showed how Nathan works – and how making his customers happy is supreme! He created not one – but TWO custom push bars using nothing but pictures and screen shots as a design reference (and a LOT of measurements). His son Nick designed and cut the push bar side plates in CAD at his workplace too Rock City Design.
