    Mark, You did all this work to get to the show. Rain, snow, or sunshine should not stop you from coming. The truck will dry, be washed, and still maintain its beauty you put into it.

    17:50 When I was trucking up the East Coast from Florida up to Massachusetts sometime, rumor was Kenworth of Atlanta had the Band to snowman whole rig. I never got to do I passed through to see if this was real But it would be worth checking up on. It'd be worth doing a pilgrimage To Atlanta just to see it and gaze and marvel over a truck I loved a lot more than all the other five year old kids staring at that Trans Am, but I'm a trucker son and loved dad's career enough I did it myself and even drove his trucks. You have an incredible collection of trucks, but I always had a very soft spot in my heart for Bandit 2, Dad drove sometimes this conventional Kenworth For a company in the late 70s same time When Smokey and convoy came out I remember it having a window you could crank to separate the noise from the sleeper in the cab technically closing you off in the sleeper. Kind of a cruel game when you're a kid for a couple seconds when that things cranked up and closed LOL! I remember he would go on these runs and pick up straw For the mushroom company he drove for with beautiful mostly cab over late model Kenworth and Freightliners in the 70s, Always remembering that diamond interior in the one Freightliner And a blue and white and a red and white cab over KW Kinda like the Iron Duke both late 70s brand new beautiful trucks I would go out along with Dad's on his intrastate Florida runs. Keep up the great building Mark, it's awesome to watch you build all these mostly alone, dad would love this channel!

    Hello Twin Sticks, my name is Daniel from NC, I grew up in a truck and my Pappy will be 78 next month and still out there getting it done! He's been behind the wheel since he was 14yo, and says your tach's "bounce" is because of a burr inside the cable, that's doing some fishing, a little catch and release, making it bounce.

    Mark, I absolutely love to hear you laugh with pleasure as you walk around your truck and especially as you drive it down the road. (So we’ll deserved) I’m a retired Deputy Sheriff from FL, I have been watching your videos for a long time, you have encouraged me to purchase an old day cab to refurbish.. I have always appreciated the trucking industry. I love big trucks, I used to drive in the 70s before going the LEO route. I’m looking now for a single axle day cab work on.. thanks for taking us along on your adventure, I look forward to seeing your other two projects become as successful as the Smokey and the Bandit truck and trailer. Thanks again.. enjoy!!!!

    Run the impact slower and the bit will skip less. Screw grab is the secret weapon for removing screws, nuts and bolts. Screw grab is a diamond grit paste and you will shatter bits before it slips in the head of the screw.
    On the left hand side of the trailer bumper the flange on the vertical bar is bent. Take a crescent wrench and straighten it out. It drives me nuts to see it in every video.

    Awesome 👌 I wasn't going to do the bodywork and paint on mine, and if I saved up for a couple more years, I could afford to have it done. Well, watching you do yours, I bought the tools and started on mine. I did buy an electric orbital sander because my compressor looks a lot like yours. Anyway, I am happy for you, and you should be proud of this milestone. Thank You for making these videos.🎉

    I haven't followed this whole project as I missed a bit when you first got the truck, but since I started watching this truck turn into an awesome replica of the Snowman Truck is has inspired me to reach out and start working on a replica vehicle myself, no where as big as this though. The truck is looking amazing and I can't wait to see it reach it's worthy of "Movie Correct" car show status, as projects like these are never complete and we always find a hidden thing we missed!
