TMCP #353 Nathan Warren of Warren Customs – Taking General Lee to “Screen Correct"

[scott_stap]

Nathan’s story of Warren Customs is a very inpsiring one. He had experience in painting, but it wasn’t until his career as an insurance appraiser came to an abrupt end (while his wife was about to have their second child) that he knew he had to do something….and he had to do it fast. Thus, Warren Customs was born out of opportunity and necessity. One job turned into two, and painting gasoline trucks and 100 year old safes led to building a ’57 Bel Air. Now he is looking for a car to get to SEMA and is utilizing the concepts in the Sponsorship Fastlane course to get financial or parts backing to make it happen!

Nearly every modification I need to make is really not correct for a MOPAR restoration at all (other than adding the reverse lights back in as well as installing wheel lip molding), but as a skilled painter and Dukes fan himself Nathan knew they could get the job done well. Nathan’s shop will do a number of TV car mods to the car such as painting the interior of the trunk orange, “black out” the entire engine bay (as well as under the hood), add in the back up lamps, wheel lip molding, sail panel vinyl top trim, change out the “General Lee” graphics for the correct ones from that era, and then convert the interior from it’s current color to the weird dark brown shade that the studio painted the cars to. It’s the little things, right?
