Snowman's Trailer and Tractor , Hobbs and Kenworth W-900 Project "Brad's Classic Trucks"

[GSRobby]

Such a beauty!!! Amazing what you guys have done. My favorite movie! Greetings from a german truck mechanic...

[LongTalkerCbRadios]

how much did it cost?

[philquarmby]

what happened to the one in the film

[XCrazyCrossX]

Wheres the real Trans-am and the real truck :) ? Hope theres still alive :D

[wildfire19861987]

@XCrazyCrossX All of the cars were crushed after the movie per the deal with Pontiac >:( . The truck is supposedly sitting in a field somewhere in the South.

[XCrazyCrossX]

@wildfire19861987 D: Is the truck ''shit'' or is it in nice shape?

[wildfire19861987]

@XCrazyCrossX Don't know except apparently the grass is up to the breathers (it was mentioned on the episode of American Trucker that featured the other replica truck). Someone else said it was still in use as a tow truck so I don't think we'll know until someone tracks it down.

[XCrazyCrossX]

@wildfire19861987 Oh :/ If i was the guy who owed it i would repair it and take it on the road...

[MrMrcrain]

Did all trucks that model come with a calculator.

[johnnyfarnham]

@MrMrcrain They did, but usually they were a Casio lol

[vigo894]

Somewhere in Heaven, Jerry "Snowman" Reed is smiling down on you. Well done. Good work.

[023338]

the real trailer got destroyed in GA,Riverdale used to sit near dixieland and the real truck got converted into a towtruck somewhere in south GA rip trailer and well the trucks is a worker now, not a movie star...

[makingnamesisfun]

One word to describe that truck.. WOW. That's it alright, you guys did an awesome job on that old kw, they coulda used it in the movie even. Keep up the great work down there I really enjoy watching all your videos of the old iron. Now, when you gonna remake the old westernstar 4800 from maximum overdrive and the old mack rs700l from convoy? Round out your collection of old trucks from movies ;)

[rocksmeller99]

nice music but people in Ga. hate it and I don't blame 'em

[1helluva86]

i love it.. that's the movie that got me into trucking and i still love every minute of it. thatnks for making that truck, its awesome

[smithkart]

Change the music.

Like being at a funeral! Depressing!!!

[classicpower07]

@smithkart This ain't Burger King and I ain't changin nothin.

[CSXtrackworker]

@classicpower07 DAMN!!! This took some serious dedication! Thanks for posting it!

[shamuslauer1]

ok so im guessing the picture is the bandit(guy in black) robing ppl?

[bigtarheelfan]

Awesome restoration job. My late father was a trucker, and Smokey and the Bandit was his favorite movie. I enjoyed the truck show back in July, those old trucks brought back memories of riding with my dad.

[hobbeekid]

I guess you really did have to crawl through a small hole at the rear of the cab to access the sleeper back in the early 70's.I remember building the kenworth models back then and always wondered why there was just a small crawl through between the cab & sleeper.Now I see it is real.....

[ledfoot73]

I had to crawl through to the bunk of my 89 R-model, they would just pop out the rear window and stick a bunk on back.

[skipinthe]

anyone know where i can see pics/video of the real truck that came out in the movie.appreciate it..and great job classicp7 on your project...

[classicpower07]

I have about 60 pics of the truck from off the movie,I may post them later on my website under the Bandit project.

[skipinthe]

thanks classic..you did an awsome job on your remake.maybe hollywood will consider you for one more bandit movie!!

[propst1166]

yea man cant wait till u have another truck show at your house like u did back in july... tht was great but still i think grave digger was da best...

[roadwolf2]

nice work dude and to use a line from the movie "old legends never die, they just lose weight"

[MrZorro1947]

Awsome! I know what cool looks like,and this rig is the coolest!!!!

[Carlipc]

I will send you a video from High chaparral truck meet 2009...

[traingp7]

I wish someone would make a replica of the truck from Maximum Overdrive with the Green Goblin face on it. That truck would make everyone take notice driving down the road.

[REDNECKDUKEBOY]

It would scare the crap out of every one, "imagine riding down the road and theme seeing that thing come flying up beside you".

But yeah it would be awesome

[winstoncup77]

that is a cool cool vid this is my all time faverite movie in the world thnx again !!!

[backwoodskid270]

looks good

[CeladonTruck]

I think what all of the people are doing (making EXACT REPLICAS) of the Smokey and the Bandit vehicles is one of the greatest ways to remember Jerry Reed and almost Burt Reynolds. All of these videos almost bring a tear to my eye. One of these days, I might make a replica and possibly park it right next to Jerry Reeds headstone. (i doubt it) Good job and nice vid.

[hubthetrucker]

Way Cool!!!

[erikm1974]

this brought a tear to my eye.. The days were simple back in 1977

[NTC335]

ぬぉぉぉぉぉぉなんじゃこりゃ―――――――――――!!!

[classicpower07]

[WWEsuperfan95]

[classicpower07]

Hey,Maybe you are only 13,,but you are a very smart 13 year old with a sharp eye for a real classic! Come on up to NC and we'll take you for a spin in the truck! Have a great day Pal! and Thanks!

[alexthe22]

Looks like a truck that a circus clown would drive =).

[classicpower07]

I have a friend who is a rodeo clown,,and he wants to drive this truck.

[scatpack01]

A lot better than the jerk from GA with a crappy replica!

[scatpack01]

I'm doin a replica also. I will have to see yours at one of the shows.

[classicpower07]

I'm not trying to compete with anyone, I just know how I want this truck and trailer to look,and so far I am pretty well pleased. Come by sometime and visit us!

[AggregateDood]

I think I cried.....

[Allenw01101986]

now could you put a prop loas of illegal coors in the trailer too? lol. GREAT job i always wanted to redo an old W-900 up the same as Snowmans. didnt know it was a 73 tho, thought it was newer. post pics from the antique truck show too!

[classicpower07]

Thank You for that comment!! We are paying attention to detail as best as we can,we have over 100 photos from the actual movie and it should be VERY close.

[jeepcherokee8948]

[richardman1992]

[classicpower07]

We are not finished yet,,but we are getting there and should have it done by the end of June! Gene has been working on it for a good while now,he enjoys doing it. Thank You for your comment!!!

[mngregv]

You all should be very proud of what you're doing... This is very well done... I know Snowman is going to be riding shotgun where ever you go with this rig... Can't wait to see it all finished and some video of you going down the road...

[classicpower07]

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

With that kinda of skill, and detication you create your own luck brother.

[Chick6517]

I'm glad that if I need help on something Youtube always shows me how to do it. haha I never knew so many people were so informative!

[Hotrodx199]

As for the motor if you plan on an engine swap, the one used in the movie was a 3406A Pre combustion.

[classicpower07]

Which one of the three trucks had that engine?

[Hotrodx199]

It was the one that passed the bandit near the end when they were just about to approach their destination.

[Hotrodx199]

Wow! That is awesome work!

[classicpower07]

Thank You for the comment! We are trying to get it just right!

[redcarpetlounge]

Anybody paint a rig like this would go to a ministers funeral dressed in feathers.Nice job looks good 10-10 on the side.

[classicpower07]

I wonder when Gene will put on his feather outfit...haha! THANKS!!

[bullyfrog08]

[aid2003]

Great work..

Its just amazing to see how you put back life into this old truck..I am sure you will get a great response on this display..

As a big FAN let me say THANK YOU for rebuild this truck..

[classicpower07]

We have been wanting to redo this particular truck for a couple of years now, so I figured it was time after finally finding the right trailer. (and tractor)Let me say THANK YOU for your support as a fan!! You all are the reason we build these trucks!!

[chevy77rracer]

Awsome truck

[3031ekt]

I tip my hat to you

[classicpower07]

Thank YOU!!

[southern5119]

[classicpower07]

Thank You!!! This one is taking some time,,It took us two years to find the 40ft. Hobbs Trailer! The tractor is a ONE owner since new in 73' and has only 170,000 actual miles! Gene will be adding MUCH more detail to the trailer until finished in June.

[southern5119]

its great to see one pay a little attention to the details

[classicpower07]

We have over 100 pictures of the original truck,,so we are paying very close attention to detail as best as we can. THANKS!!

[classicpower65]

THAT is AWESOME!!!

[classicpower07]

Thank You!!!! It has been a tough project!

[caboverpeterbilt78]

WOW  that is awesome a hell of a job hand painting sure beats the HELL out of the other guy CHEAP ASS STICKER

[classicpower07]

We were lucky to meet Gene Maynor the sign painter, He is available if you know of anyone needing art paint work or pinstriping...HE IS GOOD AT IT! (and reasonable too)

[ntrains]

[classicpower07]

Thanks Josh! We need all the support we can get! We have a LOT more painting to go! But we'll get there! haha!,Plus we have to put the tractor together too.
