Smokey & the Bandit Tribute Truck Ep.46 Rescuing Mediocre Paint

Описание: #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??? “Hello Mr. Bandit, would you just happen to be listening out there??”

So now that the paint has had some time to properly cure and I take a closer look at it in the daylight, I’m not that thrilled how it turned out. Obliviously, painting black paint is no easy chore and given I’ve never painted before, I may have bitten off more than I can chew. However, not one to be discouraged for long, I decided I’m going to try and salvage this half-ass paint job but doing my own cut and buff. Essentially, its just a wet sand with ultra-high grit paper then using my new Father’s Day present, cutting it with special glaze to remove all the sand scratches then putting a coat of wax on it. In the end, the section I did on the bunk roof was night and day difference, Biff would be proud. Now I just need to put that same amount of effort in around the whole truck…

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.
