#ProjectSnowman #twinsticks #twinstickgarage
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”
On this episode I take the Snowman Rig to its 1st truck show. Edmonton Kenworth invited me to a local gathering of cool old trucks to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kenworth that started out in 1923 when Harry Kent and Edgar K. Worthington came together to help Paciﬁc Northwest loggers build a dependable and rugged truck and the rest is history. What a treat it was being a part of the show and #ProjectSnowman even made it on the evening news!
Check out Kenworth’s history (same as what I was looking at in the trailer) at: www.kenworth.com/kenworth-100...
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.

Just curious how the other side of the pond sees Smokey and the Bandit. As an American who grew up in the 80's. the was the tail end of the 70's and I was 8 years old and LOVED every frame. It's considered a documentary in the South, LOL.

23:22 I had a 1/24th scale model of that tow truck but it was an aerodyne cab over KW. My dad was always inventive with modeling, so we glued on the 5th wheel of our fading moving on Movin' On Kenworth model.

@michaelb.42112 2 месяца назад

It's so cool to see Jerry Reed's truck tribute. Eastbound and Down is one of the best songs ever in a movie that captures the essence. I LOVE the Bandit Trans Am, but also the basset hound express... THANK YOU Truckers !!!!! YOU keep the world going, so screw Biden, and that Canadian dude.

My only Bro passed away from cancer in 1993 at 41 years old , leaving wife and kids behind and many friends. He was born to drive trucks...When he was younger it was anything then he got hired to drive long haul equipment truck in the 70's for rock & roll groups .After that he went local with a cement mixer truck....would ride his Gold Wing to work even in the rain...after early morning coffee with the other guys... He played guitar and had several bands he was a lefty and played a right handed guitar upside down..Still missing him... I wrote a tribute to Smokey and the Bandit in my story , Pioneers of Power .....on Facebook free read.....as my Bro liked to say when leaving....Be cool....

Oh, featured on TV news. You're famous now! I have always found it fascinating that Peterbilt and Kenworth are both owned by PACCAR since 1954, Peterbilt billed itself as the truck with class, yet it seems that Kenworth was the big innovator. KW introduced the K100 VIT (108"BBC) in 1972, the W-900 VIT (60" sleeper) for the 1974 model year, and the K100 and W900 Aerodyne in 1976. Peterbilt did introduce similar sized 352's and 359 sleepers, but no Aerodyne.

Chillicothe does a parade every year when they have their company picnic there’s usually 100 or so trucks and trailers, you might want to look into something like that. It is a big facility.

Okay Mark, I waited until I was done with the playlist to comment. This is freakin cool! I love everything you have done to make a close to movie truck as possible. I'm 48 yrs old, Smokey and The Bandit became my fav movie as a child. Mostly because my dad is a truck driver, and still is to this day. He has hauled it all except flat bed. I have watched the movie every time it was on television. Now I own a remastered dvd. And there are other movies with trucking that I like. Good job man. I cannot wait to see how that cabover turns out. That's the next playlist to watch. A lot of cool rigs at the show.
