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??? ”What we’re dealing with here is a complete lack of respect of the law”
I start off this episode by showcasing the 22” split-ring wheels I found on a recent On The Hunt (Ep.18) and was lucky enough to beat out the other bidders at the auction. Great find that’ll really make the truck a closer replica to the one used in the movie. I also show some other cool items I’ve found by searching out on the old Interwebs. When I finally stop talking and get to work, I paint the engine the period-correct Cummins beige and then move onto finishing up the hood build and installing it on the truck single-handedly without a forklift. I’ve got to stop doing all this heavy lifting or my back’ll never forgive me
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.

I love the education you give in each episode, you really learn me a lot about trucks and truck maintenance. I'll keep watching as long as I learn something.
There he goes again. "Couldn't afford not to buy them" love it.
Dear Bert
👍👌👏 Yeah!
Best regards, luck and health.
I love it too c'mon 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
Hey the 10/22 rubber is used on school busses here in Virginia and my friend had several sets off old busses he scrapped .let me know if you want me to see if still has them
Dear @@allenfisher2333
👍👌👏 Please tell this to Mark P. (Twin Sticks Garage). He might not see it here. Thanks in advance.
Best regards, luck and health.

I love the movie clips. Today I laughed very loud when I saw the "fit likes a glove" insert. Amazing how you always find the the right movie clips. I started out watching you to learn about trucks. You give me so much more with your insight and dedication.
I laughed also!! That was pretty good!!
Just want to say a big thanks to everybody that helps you out by sending you stuff as it helps us, all in the building of the truck you guys are top people that restores my faith in humanity
great split ring tutorial. Probably why old truckers could change their own tires on the side of the road as opposed to now, where the whole wheel and tire need to be separated by tire guys
Just discovered this channel… K-whopper, Jerry Reid music and a cool presenter. Great stuff mate.
*Reed*
Jeremy, Jeremy, & Ron.... just proves that Ron Jeremy is a hero to all of us.
new hood looks good on the truck.
Nice,looking forward to seeing this beast take shape,top work👍👍👍
Marc, you are one of the most genuine youtubers, why are you so surprised your awesome fans wanna get involved?? being over the pond all i can do is enjoy.
I'm sure you hear it everyday but Project Snowman is coming along great! I smiled as soon as I saw that hood close! What a beaut!
I'm here today for my fix on the intro music.
I also want to give a shout out to Mrs. Twin Sticks. Without her support this ain't happening. Please give her my hellos from California.
The moment the hood was laid down into place was awesome!!
Truly one of the best channels I watch. Any guy who does all that work by himself, in all kinds of weather, is the real deal. Love all the video clips that just fit perfectly!
Oh happy day....everyone who's helping out can say they had a hand in the making of the snowman...and how bout that planes trains and automobiles ....love some John candy c'mon 👍 thank you Mark...your the man!!🇨🇦🇺🇸🤘hey at23:40 did I hear a little bandit in that laugh 😉👍
It's funny for how much I've watched this movie I never noticed the hood pull colors, and other small things too. Looks awesome!
Just yesterday started to follow the show, i love how you can do such an awesome job making a tribute to snowman with just the minimum of tools
In this episode "walking hood" make me giggle again.
Greets from Holland and keep up the good work
Looks great. Kudos to your dedication to the authentic movie truck.
This build just gets better and better! I like how you are keeping it exactly like the movie !!
Awesome 👌 Glad to see everything is working out for The Snowman. That hood pull looks great on the hood. 😊👍👍
Nice fit, beautiful job,one day at a time.
Those are my favorite style vintage semi wheels no doubt.
The engine looks great in that colour. Really enjoying this restoration. 👍🏻👍🏻
Good to see you an snow man good luck take care buddy
Honestly I can't believe how amazing your fans are. You've probably got the best fans on RUclips and it's so heartening to see.
I'm loving this project! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Awesome way some of the guys that can help do so. Just shows how much people love this movie/project. I will reach out to some guys I deal with to try and find some tires.👌👌
That hood pull is so minty
What an awesome build, good luck with her
Thanks Professor little by little. On the tire and rim explanation
I’m so glad you found some tube type aluminum wheels.My dad had a 1973 kenworth with those same wheels and I spent a lot of time polishing them in the 80s.I just think it’s cool to keep project snowman as original as possible.
Just waiting for the "on the hunt" episode where you find a correct snowman trailer.😁
That would be epic.
"anybody that paints his truck like this , would go to a Minister's funeral, dressed in feather's"
@@elroyelblander6277 that’s probably my favorite line of the movie and to this day I still don’t have the slightest idea what it means.
Saw one near salt lake last month
Great🔥🇮🇳.... waiting for another part
Fun to see the updates.
My word, that hood grew legs and walked itself onto that trailer.
so neat to see others helping you run down the parts you need!
I'm enjoying your videos. My Dad was a truck driver for years, he passed away a couple of years ago and I didn't become a truck driver. Watching your videos brings back memories when my Dad drove a truck. Also Smokey And The Bandit is my all time favorite movie. Maybe in a couple of years when Snowman is finished, we have a truck show in Missouri, I would like to see Snowman and maybe asks for a ride. Thanks for your videos and Keep On Truckin.
Ya gotcha one Snowman im east bound and down.....we gone killer!
i love that movie. seen it at least a thousand times lol
Hood looks awesome !!
I work at the Jamestown Engine Plant where the ISX 12L, and 15L blocks are machined and the engines are assembled and painted.
Thank you for the awesome content
those are some great scores! a little bit closer. that hood pull is just fantastic.
Favorite all time movie trucks. Snowman is gonna be awesome
Great video Mark, I remember the widowmaker rims, when I first started trucking there were lots of them still on the road. I worked for a company in Swan hills in 1977 and when he bought a truck at an auction or anywhere if it had widowmaker rims on it they would get pulled off and new rims put on and the old rims were either taken over to the shop next door and run over with a D7 or holes were cut in them and made into fire pits but the did'nt live after Ken owned them. Love the new hood pull looks great see you on the next one.
Dam... That's coming together like it's meant to be or something! I'll just drool quietly over here... Carry on, carry on...
Marc, you've got the best fans!
Dang, with that hood, bumper, grill, and hood pull, that Kenworth is looking more and more like the Snowman's truck!
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Very well done again and as always (video and work). Congrats for purchasing all those movie correct parts (including the beige paint). What a great Twin Sticks community by the way. Hope you will find the type of tires you are searching for and that they are not expensive.
I already knew Indian summer but Canadian summer was kind of new to me. Heavy snowfall on May 19th feels/looks pretty weird. Especially because snow on trees with leaves is extremely rare (at least in Germany). The leaves modify themselves to a spoon shape so that they are able to carry the extra/heavy load. Nature is ingenious for sure.
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health.
Try Coker Tire. They sell all sorts of vintage tires and maybe they have or know who can get them if they dont.
Great channel, from Vancouver Canada originally, now living and watching your channel in Ballybunion Co.Kerry Ireland.
Loving the “rattle can resto” on the engine bay😉👌
Last clip of OJ trying on the glove....near spewed my coffee trying to laugh 😂😂 awesome Mark !!
This is my new favorite channel.
Old project snowman is coming along quite well
Absolute coolness on those original splits. 😎
Probably get those tires in Australia 😗😂
Those emblems are beautiful!
"I can take anything"
"I've been with Del Griffith"
That kw emblem u got in the mail looks awesome thanks again for another great video
Consider contacting KalTire and have them recap the rear tires with the Bandag tread, it's period correct and the Bandag actually last a long time and is quite durable. If you reach out to Bridgestone directly they may be able to get you squared up for period correct steering axle tires. Mismatching profiles (heights) is a no no as per the tire industry recommendations for tire safety. Mismatching can cause excessive internal tire wall heating leading to early tire failure (roadside crocodiles) tread and casing separation. Split rims (military rims developed by the British military during the second world war to allow for easier field changing) have a collapsing center rim portion, they are outlawed across Canada. She sure is coming along nicely, fans are a real help when your in a pinch.. Stay Safe & Cheers!
I love the way you moved the hood around on to the trailer reminds me of stuff in cartoons
Looks freeking amazing!
Oh Happy Thursday and a new Project Snowman TwinStick video. Love seeing the progress on this truck.
Lay off the booze, dude. Thursday
@@markharmon6942 sorry meant Thursday
Another great video can't wait till till it's done.
Great video today and I'm already Jonesing for next Thursday! Loved the "fits like a glove" clip. Happy Father's day sir!
Outstanding can’t wait till It’s finished 💯
so glad you got your hood pull finally
Awesome video Mark snow man is looking really good thumbs up and shared
This series is the best. So interesting.
watching the hood levitate onto the trailer gave me a chuckle
🎵🎶🎵You got a long way to go and a short time to get there we’re eastbound just watch ole Bandit run🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶
Hey Man , I was browsing RUclips a few weeks ago and found your channel. Absolutely love it!
I have a cousin who was a trucker for many years when I was growing up and I always enjoyed checking out the trucks he would drive, and later in his career he had a couple Riggs of his own. My favorite in particular was royal blue GMC Five Star General that he had with a Detroit in it. .
And when I was in my twenties I spent about seven years in working in shops repairing trucks .
I am very excited to see the final product of your Smokey and the Bandit Jerry Reed tribute truck , I have been watching your videos of it , it's looking great! Keep up the awesome work!
And thank you for all your great videos.
Tim from Wisconsin.
Your doing great that whole truck is gonna be authentic to the movie truck can't wait to see it all done on video gonna be amazing but your doing a great job
I saw a mechanic stick a split ring into the metal ceiling in our shop when it blew. We actually had to use a ladder to get it down. We had a cage in there the next day... LOL This was back in the late 70's
I have to say that looks real good!
Nice build. It's comming along real well. Also love what you did with your fire pit. Gave me some ideas.
Excellent progress 👍
That's awesome I love the part when he was moving the hood under his trailer and then the guy at all I don't got time to bleed and then that one clip he's all showing LJ with a bit like the glove
not to long from now & the k100 will be on the show ! i’m ready
19:12
I know that’s the way I would’ve done it too, but it sure as hell looks funny to see a hood just ominously walk itself up onto the trailer.
Helluva job. Well done.
Thanks for bringing up those per-lux lights. I have a lifted truck and was looking for fog lights that could be put in the front bupper that can be aimed down, those would fit the bill. Some kc light covers would be good to keep on them when parked so rocks dont find there way into those lenses.
If it was me.... I'd leave the beautiful wheels on it, now. Trust me. On down the road, you'll wish you did.
well hes going for as accurate a movie truck as he can get, not as beautiful a truck as he can get
That's fine and dandy but, I was thinking about practicality while enjoying the driving part. Do you want to constantly deal with antique wheels leaking on you and going out of balance on a regular basis leaving you stranded on the side of the freeway? Or, do you want a nice upgraded and polished out wheel that's maintenance free? And yes, I have worked in truck tire shops in the past. I do know what the hell I'm talking about.
George, you're right. It's not me. I haul diesel fuel for a living. I haul 7,000 gallons of red dye, on a daily basis in a '48 tanker trailer. I keep the BNSF locomotives fueled and, moving. So if you'd like to discount someone, do it to someone else.
Can't wait until the gold and black paint scheme.
Those are some nice lights!! 😂 truck sure is coming along.
Once again man you did it. Thanks man
Oh Mark, you’re such a star! 😂🇬🇧👍🏻👏🏻
Its starting to look good and I can't wait till its all the way together and its ready to paint cause its going to look dam good when its all the way done
Great Job Mark really looking forward to Iron Duke #AWESOMECABOVER
Another great video, keep up the content ole buddy,
Looking great Mark! Thursday definitely got better I needed it !
I saw the thumbnail and got excited
Love it. I cut my teeth on a 855!! Have a Cummins C on my arm with "153624" just like a woman. 15 to young. 36 to old. But 24 is just right!!!
Looking good!!!
Thank God it's Thursday and a new "Snowman" video
I truly enjoy your videos!
Ok, the smash cut to OJ damn near got a spit take out of me. How am I supposed to edit MY youtube stuff with coffee all over my screen?! hmmmm? HAHAH! good stuff! Thanks for a great episode. I needed it.
Wow love ya work keep on trucking
Great video! Love the truck!!
Looking good ⛄👍

Looking fantastic!👍👍
I always called that a Krylon Recon. I had an 855 that was a mix of big cam 1 thru 4 and called it a Big Scam 5!
Had to chuckle seeing you move the hood onto the trailer you disappeared underneath and it grew legs and hopped right on up there 🤣
