Why us
The mantle was handed to us
The Smith Bros. alone received the authority to continue the General Lee building tradition, from Warner Bros. chief General Lee mechanic Rich Sephton. We hold friendships with the original mechanics who created and preserved the series cars, and the journals they kept.
Others watch the episodes to work out how a General Lee goes together. We were given the notes.
