Smokey & the Bandit Tribute Truck Ep. 26 “O” is for Orange Peel

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??? “See son, old legends never die, they just lose weight…”

In the continued effort to install the sleeper back on the truck so I can seal it up and start installing the interior from the DayCab Company, I attempt to finish the prep work and tried another color hopefully this time a little closer to the color of the movie truck. I’ve studied the movie and from what I see the truck mostly looks black, however in a few scenes, it does appear to be a slight brown tint to it. Unfortunately, being a movie from the 70’s there’s just no high def pics nor can I find any official paint codes they used for the movie so we’re kind of guessing here. Either way, I believe I’ve finally found a color that’s going to work and I even put it down using a proper paint gun. I also tackled installing the rubber floor mat supplied by the DayCab Company and it turned out awesome

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
