Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck Ep.25 Was the Movie Truck Brown???

#ProjectSnowman #twinsticks #twinstickgarage

On this episode I continue with the ongoing restoration of this 1979 Kenworth W900A truck to turn it into a tribute movie truck to the one used in the 1977 classic movie Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason. If you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for??? “You dumb cowboy, you know truckin’ Coors beer east of Texas is bootleggin’ … this here’s Georgia son”

On this episode I start off sharing some footage of the concrete floor for my new shop being prepped and poured … turned out amazing – just need to wait a month now for it to cure. Then when I got rolling on Snowman I tackled the final prep and decided to paint a test color on the back of the cab. Now many folks will tell you that the truck in the movie was a simple black, but I don’t believe that is the case. I’ve done a lot of research on the web and from what I found the correct color was “Coffee Black” ie a black base with a tint of brown along with the gold stripes. I tried to get the right color cross referenced at CMAX in Edmonton but ended up with a more chestnut metallic that’s just not right. OH well, back to the pain shop for something closer and blacker. After that I decided to start working on prepping the cab for the new interior and floor the DayCab Company provided.

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and support!

Keep in mind, I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts
