Xtreme Lee

11/2 "Xtreme" Makeover meets "Xtreme" Dukes Fan!

Kenny Wayne Shepherd's 1969 Dodge Charger "Xtreme" Lee was unveiled for the first time to the public at the Opening Day of the 2004 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show. The SEMA show is where EVERYONE who specializes in performance,design and building of fabulous hot rods, street cars and gorgeous ultra-luxury cars struts their stuff. We heard that this show had grabbed the #1 spot as the largest convention this year in Las Vegas.

Featured in the Gear Vendors booth (one of the car's sponsors) this Hi-Tech/New Millennium version of the "Dukes of Hazard" famous "General Lee" be-dazzled everyone from the spectacular paint coat, based on the original color, and exquisitely hand painted art to the monster horsepower, custom machine work through and through, and state-of-the-art dash displays, Audio and DVD systems. As a tribute to the famous guitar player that will be driving this beauty the center console woodgrain was replaced with Fender Guitars famous pickguard material complete with Fender logo engraving.

The meeting of this labor-of-love with it's owner Kenny Wayne, who by the way is an "Xtreme" Dukes of Hazard fan, was nothing short of car passion perfection-Kenny is a devoted car enthusiast and so are all the folks who have committed many, many hours to this restoration. Redline Gauge Works, who solicited the help from numerous vendors like, Ted Moser’s Picture Car
Warehouse, Year One, Mopar Engines West, Magnumforce Race Car Fabrication, Budnik Wheels, Eclipse Audio installed by Ace Customs are just a few of many involved. Stay tuned to TLC (part of the Discovery Channel Network) for an upcoming RIDES episode devoted to the making of Kenny Wayne Shepherd's "Xtreme Lee" coming in January.
