Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck Ep.20 Making it Movie Correct

#ProjectSnowman #twinstickgarage #twinsticks

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??? ”What we’re dealing with here is a complete lack of respect of the law”

I start off this episode by showcasing the 22” split-ring wheels I found on a recent On The Hunt (Ep.18) and was lucky enough to beat out the other bidders at the auction. Great find that’ll really make the truck a closer replica to the one used in the movie. I also show some other cool items I’ve found by searching out on the old Interwebs. When I finally stop talking and get to work, I paint the engine the period-correct Cummins beige and then move onto finishing up the hood build and installing it on the truck single-handedly without a forklift. I’ve got to stop doing all this heavy lifting or my back’ll never forgive me

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

Enjoy watching the progress of this Kenworth W900A project, the ongoing Peterbilt 359 restoration and the upcoming #IronDuke Kenworth K100 cabover I’m planning to build up like the one used in the 70’s trucking movie High Ballin’ with Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda.
