Welcome back to the channel where I’m continuing with the ongoing restoration of this 1979 Kenworth W900A truck to turn it into a tribute movie truck and trailer 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??? “For the money, for the glory and for the fun … mostly for the money”
Well here it is folks, this is the episode where I finally turn this old Trailmobile van trailer into a legit replica of the Hobbs from the movie. Tony from Beyond Vinyl Wraps came out to put this beautiful Stagecoach wrap onto the trailer and it turned out absolutely amazing! Special thanks to him for hand pressing the wrap on this 43’ trailer over all those ribs and bumps and to Creative Color for supplying the wrap and finally to www.snowmanstr... for providing the artwork!
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.

Hard to believe it's been 2 years since this crazy guy popped up on my feed freezing his rear off in a Canadian winter working on an old KW with the goal of creating the Snowman rig.. Congrats on the project nearing completion

@pcap2700 Год назад

Hey mark back in may of 1977 we went to see the movie and never left the theater that day sat through 4 showings !!!

'Egotistical son of a.....' 😉 that looks fantastic Mark, what a proud moment to see it finally coming together. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

@martineames2491 Год назад

As a fellow UK subscriber - 12:00 every Thursday’s a great time of the week 😃

@richardmiller4021 Год назад

Looks good excellent job

@FloorBoardandTheMistress Год назад

Hey Mark, please re check your SWR away from the shop and all the trees!!! I'd hate for you to burn up that radio!!! Also, tuning dual antennas can be a royal pain, a lot of people just run a single coax and just have the second antenna as a dummy for the looks. Besides that, absolutely awesome man and keep it up!!!!!!

Incredible work on the wrap. Feller did some work

@jakester455 6 месяцев назад

The installation of something this gigantic over corrugation is a mind-numbingly difficult and tedious process and none of it can be rushed. This dude showed enormous patience, he even made it look easy. You were blessed to find him. I've always been curious about the original painting(s), I always figured it was a working trailer that they borrowed for the film but it sounds like it was painted specifically for the movie. Back then the vinyl technology wasn't what it is now, so it was hand-painted. Amazing. I actually think with a blank trailer the movie wouldn't have been successful. (my apologies if you've covered all this already, I'm new here LOL)

@36browneyedman Год назад

Anybody that would decorate their truck like this would go to a ministers funeral dressed in feathers! Lol love it!!

@kennethives2517 Год назад

I'd leave it chrome!! It makes the unit stand out otherwise it just blends in.

@fredrickhaemker8434 Год назад

The reefer chrome is the way to go! Leave it Mark.

@djleigh4868 11 месяцев назад

Mark.. excellent work as a driver who drove trucks like the ones you have right up to the modern trucks of today. I can say you have restored a piece of history Americana if you will. I was around in the days when here in the states you could not get COOR'S east of Colorado. Someone would have to smuggle it back. When I ran coast to coast I would stop and fill my sleeper up with cases then sleep across the front seats made a platform out of plywood so my I could scrunch up between the doors to sleep at nite...Its so Kool what you have done with that old W900 I owned a 359 twin-stick Pete like you have best truck in its class. Great content best regards..DJ

@davidcatlette9697 Год назад

Looks great ! And feathers I see feathers ! 🤔🤣

@brentbell9543 Год назад

Leave the chrome reefer grille. Looks cool as it is. You may need to visit a cemetery to talk to the last mechanic who worked on the brake chambers.

@stephensimpson5283 11 месяцев назад

Just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

@wernerjansen9387 Год назад

Hats off to Tony for the wrap. Must have taken days to finish and seal. I'm in the same industry and my clients won't pay for the hours and I will not guarantee lifetime on corrugated sides. Looks great.

@PD3a11 Год назад

The Bandit Run is - Dave Hall of RestoreAMuscleCar. Snowman’s Run is Tyler Hambrick. Two different runs but both are a blast. You must be going to a minsters funeral dressed in feathers!

@dand3975 11 месяцев назад

Twinsticks, that old Thermoking reefer looks just fine as you restored it. The Stainless grille stands out Excellent. Maybe consider vinyl letters ( matching the black on the trailer) to highlite "Thermoking" on the reefer grille. Thanks for real life shop videos.

@MrSilverado1982 Год назад

That is looking sweet!!

@raymondbradley6788 11 месяцев назад

Very nice mark👍👍👍

@youbecha64 Год назад

Check the SWR outside the garage. The more mismatched the antenna length is to the frequency, the higher the reflected power is...the reflected power causes your radio's transmit power transistors to get hot and die. In your meter you said 'reference' but it is normally known as forward and reflected power.

@codyroger9581 Год назад

Leave the chrome on the reefer.. would be a cool spot for a generator to power the trailer

@miltontate7535 Год назад

Looking good I love it

@morgansword 11 месяцев назад

I turn seventy four in october the twenty ninth and so lived these times but sorta late as I was working on the islands in alaska. Pulling wrenches or driving, became my entire life goals and so really can appreciate this dedication. My wrong possibly taken comment is to the fact that paint stuck to the metal or anything thats hard to get off is in my way of thinking, never going to rust or corrode in any manor so taking it to bare metal to just paint it is crazy ... Once as smooth as a baby bottom, its the best protection available. I know that you might come back with two or more dissimilar things would make it unsafe to trust long term. I believe in my heart that there are primers that will stick to anything and well. Its really hard now to find all the colors and then the paints they come in that stick and don't give up. I was curious as to you reaching out to your fellow famous canadian friend Scott at "Coldwar Motors" who has made a lot of waves in great paint.... as famous as say Chip Foose or Tony Lang who do paint that resemble a paint that makes you think you can stick your arm down into the paint as its just that good. At least with Scott and his crazy crew, Coors beer is a great way to pay for his talents. Just stuff to confuse or make one think of different possibilities

@Sco1ful Год назад

Ah can’t even get s screen protector on mah phone without air bubbles 😂😂😂 Fair play to the fella. 💪

@chrishunter5041 Год назад

@spottedhoss1920 11 месяцев назад

That trailer looks amazing!!! I only wish I could see it at the show on Saturday but I will for sure see it next year. You did an amazing job on both the truck and the trailer Mark, You have every right to be very proud of the job you have done my friend, Thank you for taking all of us this journey I can't wait to be on the next one and finish a couple more off. Have a great weekend at the show say hello to Mrs. Twin stix for us.

@justin_johnson1414 Год назад

Love the placard idea, looks great!!

@darrellkidd5177 Год назад

It does, but it would look better if you had done it with a black background and gold logo. I know that’s not your typical logo, but it would look really good.

@uliwehner 11 месяцев назад

looking good Mark. I am sure Tony won't feel his fingers for a few days after he is done with this.

@TheSouthsideslim 11 месяцев назад

@gregjohnson8154 Год назад

Hell yeah brother

@matthewpage1266 Год назад

Now you just need to run over to Texarkana and pick up 400 cases of coors and bring them back here in 28 hours. That is just about the sharpest looking bandit replica that I have seen and son I've seen the best of them and yours makes the rest look like they were done with A box of crayons.

@mickburns5546 Год назад

Don’t worry Mark. In Australia, we pronounce “semi” the same as you She looks good mate. 😊

@QuinnD04_ Год назад

I'm almost certain than when adjusting SWR it needs to be done outside with no obstructions in a 10 meter radius around the truck.

@NotmeGK123 Год назад

Still blows my mind that that stays put lol in my mind will blow off going down road but idk

@StephenViola-ib8dq Год назад

The placards look great!!!!! You deserve you name on it!! Great job Mark.

@archstanton9206 Год назад

Boy the sunset on the wrap...a moment made for a photo for sure. Really happy for you Mark, a lot of blood sweat and $ and your dream is about done. Can't wait til next week.

@flyingace5057 Год назад

Is it 7 am where I live right now? Yes Am I still going to watch the entirety of this video before I go to work? Also yes

@SurfGreenTelecaster Год назад

Funny thing is that Mark posts these videos at like 5am Alberta time on Thursday mornings, and he's commenting at that hour. 😆👌

@maxum96 Год назад

Awesome! It's looking so good. Looking at your recreation of the movie truck and trailer takes me back to the night in 1977 when I went to the drive in theater with my family and saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time. 46 years later I still love the movie and own it on DVD and Blu ray.

@benkpsnyder Год назад

Hey mark. I like the custom placards

@eagle1333 Год назад

Fantastic job Tony! All your hard work as usual is paying off Mark looks Great!

@angelicchandler8275 Год назад

Tony is a wrapping God. To take on a job like that, he must love what he does !!!! Awesome job Tony. If you where in Michigan I'd have you wrap my Jeep and C10 truck ....

@michaelstansfield319 Год назад

Wow! It is looking like the Snowman's trailer now!

@philipmichel215 Год назад

Ah man seeing that wrap com alive sends chills through my body. What a project!

@kevinmartin5375 Год назад

All your hard work and help from friends is paying off. Looks amazing. Can’t wait to see it hooked up.

A long way to go and a short time to get there. 😊

@whitetailfox1 11 месяцев назад

If you are running duel anenna be sure to use cophase. The single coax stuff is 50ohm the cophase is 75 you won't get the SWR very low if you run duel 50

@kkbodyshop 11 месяцев назад

@1one3_Racing Год назад

Tony is a brave man. I would have dry fit all the panels and taped them in place and made sure they were square and level and married up before I EVER peeled a backing.

@user-qe5cl6nm6g Год назад

Man you should paint the blue Pete like The truck that snowman drove in smokey and the Bandit 3 that was the best looking truck he drove just a I'd

@PatrickHusting Год назад

I look forward to the completed rig! I hope you make it to the Seattle area as I would love to see it. 👍🏻🤠

@KliffonSpinback Год назад

That trailer looks a million dollars!! Big respect to Tony because making vinyl look flawless is hard and you can see the experience in the application Well done Mark….. so so close now 👍🏼

@TheLargecars Год назад

Gotta get good with the 3 long toots on the horn for when u pass a convoy 😂😂

@metalhead7181 11 месяцев назад

Its awesome to see the progress of this rig,and how it's coming along so nicely. I love the movie smokey and the bandit, as a kid, that movie is what made me want to be a trucker , to this day. Been driving trucks for over 30 yrs now. I can't wait to see when it's all finished. 👍
