Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck Ep.51 OK, That's A Wrap

#ProjectSnowman #fleetFX #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??? “Oh that’s great psychology, why don’t you just say something bad about my mother”

So Graham, a top installer from FleetFX graphics in Edmonton, AB (@inst.grahams on IG) came out today to put on the finishing touch to the bodywork on #ProjectSnowman and add the gold wrap. After studying both the ’73 and the ’74 trucks used in the movie, he got started cleaning off all the wax and rubbing compound left behind after I attempted to improve my paint job then started to layout the gold. I can’t say how sharp that looks now but we did hit a snag when the pin striping (a different brand from the 3M the gold sheets are made of, didn’t quite match so we elected to leave that off for now while Graham goes back to get some new stripes cut – we’ll put on in a future episode. Looks great to me and now one step closer to getting it done. Graham’s not looking forward to putting the Stagecoach wrap on the trailer though as that’s going to be a ton of work…

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.
