    Mark - tip for mounting mud flaps. Take a box Cutter or razor and make a vertical slit from the mounting holes to the top of the flap, then mount them with your stainless nut/bolt/washers. This way if you ever back over them, or otherwise pull them off, they will pull off clean and not tear the top all to pieces. You'll be able to remount them no problem. Thank me later!

    You know i was never a truck guy i'am more a car guy and still am i have car . But then i start watching mark on twinsticks right from the beginning . And i will tell you i have alot of respect for these truckers and what they do to there trucks and the detailing beautiful machines . You can tell mark is in he's elements. What alot of work these people put into there trucks so like marks says if you bought it a trucker brought it amen to all you truckers and when i'am on the road i give them the space they deserve stay back from them . And if i pass them i go way up ahead when i pull in front of them cheer's to you truckers amen .

Thanks Mark for all your hard work and letting us share in the process. I'm sure the filming and editing slow you on the projects. I bought my young daughter to the show again this this and she loved the truck and we got some great pictures next to it. Sorry didn't get a chance to talk to you this year.

    Mark, you need to go to your local distributor for Coors and ask them for "empty" case boxes. Get enough to make a wall of boxes on the back of your truck and there you go... Tell them what your doing and they would probably even save them for you.

Being part of your Joy; riding it and showing it to others that that know the movie oh so well.
    Great job Mark, please keep up that good work. Keep filming for us to enjoy and share a few of those goosebumps everytime you drive it down the road.

    It would have been a true & fitting tribute to the movie & more importantly an acknowledgement to your attention to detail, great workmanship & straight up dedication
    to your project. It is in my honest & humble opinion that your Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck to be the BEST Rig on the Planet, well done & congratulations Mate.

I would like to then get it framed & hang it on my wall of Legendary & Famous Rigs. I am happy to pay the costs/shipping naturally. It would be so cool hanging in pride of place.
