Mark drove the car a lot for about a year and added tons of updates to the it throughout the year. Updates included a new Ron Davis aluminum radiator, new demon 850 carb and a CD player hidden in the glove box with surround sound that can make your ears bleed! Mark showed the car and enjoyed it, but it seemed the front-end damage from gary's son hurt the car and everyone pointed it out and asked him about it.

Mark decided in late 2006 that he wanted to have the General Lee repainted. He knew it was the Smith Brothers that did the car the first time and planned on sending the car to them for the repaint. The only problem with that is Mark loves to be involved with every step on his car.

Scotlea Idol Rods offered to work with Mark to do the car exactly like he wanted it, and being located in Oklahoma - a big difference from Washington state - he was only 6 hours away. After many late nights of talking to his dad and thinking it over, Mark decided to send the car to Oklahoma where he could go over at least once a month and see the process and what changes he wanted to make. Mark decided he wanted to have the nicest General Lee in the world if at all possible so he and Patrick Hagerman (the owner of Scottlea Idol Rods) began to make a list of things Mark would like to add.

First was Air Conditioning - because Arkansas summers are horrible, second was power windows and locks, due to how much Mark was in and out of the car every Saturday of the summer.
