Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck Ep.42 Hillbilly Paint Booth

#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??? “Have a smooth ride Mr. Bandit”

Continuing on the never ending journey of prepping a 40 year old truck semi-truck for paint, I’ve been sanding, grinding and polishing my way to what hopefully will turn into a decent paint job to match the movie truck. As I’ve mentioned, I know nothing about autobody and I’m kind of learning as I go, but making progress none the less. I also setup a make-shift paint booth using tarps, Tyvek, zipties and some fans … we’ll see how well it works when I finally get to putting down some primer (hopefully next episode).

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.
