There were 2 radios in the patrol car, a Pace CB and a Motorola police radio, probably a Micor series radio.

Mark, I don't know if you've gotten any of my previous messages but I have come across your movie. Correct white bar for the Buford car. You send me your email. I can send you the link. The only thing is that it does yellow lenses and not blue, but I'm sure the blue lenses are obtainable. I will also hunt for those

[@TwinStix]

@@leroytift7024 I’ve actually found a correct Federal bar with blue lens 👍

[@searlearnold2867]

If you're looking for a blue that pops, check out Dodge paint code PCL - Blue Streak Pearl. It's inbetween what you have on the door and the sleeper top and is brilliant in the sun. Nice pop.

[@hammers1518]

I can't believe I've been watching that long....patiently! lol

[@paularmstrong4546]

LBL is my favourite ive watched you from the start. Really can't wait until its finished.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear paularmstrong... 👍👌👏 Same here, definitely. Although the bandit truck turned out to be quite amazing and already won a prize. But because of it's movie correct suspension, the truck is unfortunately quite uncomfortable to drive (bumpy ride). Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@gudynielsen8780]

Harley made the blue color you are looking for 👍

[@mikerooney7928]

I’ve always painted the top and bottom of windshields over the years. Just a 4-5” stripe.

[@machinistbytrade]

I've said before... soda blast the truck bodies for paint prep. It won't damage hucks or chrome and you'll save yourself thousands of hours of messing around. Nice to see effort back on LBL ... now just stick to it, nevermind all the other projects... focus on 1 project at a time and you'll be finished in no time... great episode!

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

@@machinistbytrade Stay away from soda blasting, soda blasting leaves a residue on the substrate that is next to impossible to properly remove. Most paint manufacturers refuse to warranty any paint that has been applied to a surface that was soda blasted, within a year or two the paint begins peel. Properly neutralizing soda blast residue is nearly impossible due to the chemical bond the soda make with metal. I have seen people wet sand with dawn and vinegar just to have the paint peel within a year. Baking soda is chemically a salt and when it becomes trapped in body panel joints and cause problems down the road. Most people who recommend soda blasting have no actual experience with it. I have been in the business of automotive restoration and customization for 25 years and I remember when soda blasting began to gain popularity and within a year paint jobs were failing. I will not take any project into my shop that has been soda blasted

[@loadstar65]

Paint it the color that the sleeper was. I loved that color blue. It always caught my eye in your videos. 😎

[@trevorupton6904]

I think a nice, beautiful sapphire blue would look great on that truck 😊

[@ridethroughlifertl]

Has it really been 5 years?! I've been around here since the very beginning, and it doesn't feel like that much time has passed. That's crazy.

[@mosyinmoses]

I used to do auto body on busses when I was younger and with etching primer you just need a light coat it can be transparent some etching primers when you mix them you need to let it sit for a bit before you spray it. Have a great day and thanks for the video

[@louismunoz4709]

Mark, you are dedicated to your projects and however long the projects take the rewards will be satisfying. Keep up the enthusiasm!

[@robbyblack2699]

We appreciate you too, Mark. Don’t rush the project. It’ll get there.

Hello young fella, back in the 70's I painted 3 trucks in ford midnight blue metallic ,wow that pop's ,check it out. Keep moving forward!

[@dennycelestinohybridspecies]

Hey Mark, I'm sure you as well as me and other Hal Needham fans have seen that really cool painted art Hawaiian Tropic trailer in Smokey and the Bandit 2 at the Lion Country Safari scene when Charlotte has the baby I think, as well as Cannonball Run, during the Arthur J Foyt speech 18:48 seconds into Cannonball run, both made like practically around the same time. I'm just curious to know what happened to it if anyone else knows, it's something I think my dad even noticed back in the day and it seems like Hal Needham liked that painted art so much he had it in both movies. Thanks for noticing my comment , keep on building those awesome movie vehicles!

[@waynegibbons352]

some metallic paints need a clearcoat finish to really POP!!

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video mark thumbs up and shared

[@dptp9lf]

If you still have the "T-handle" for the drill, try that so you can keep your hand off the drill motor as you're covering the cooling holes while using it... maybe help keep heat down?

[@Bruningable]

Chrysler B5 blue!

[@Tonkatruck1979]

Safety Lights and Signal webpage has those blue beacons. Not the exact same, but the Grote ones are discontinued in the blue. So enjoy watching every episode! Oh, and i say use the same blue as original for LBL. Just needs the right amount of clear and it will pop!

[@richardmosher6602]

I love the ideeos

Thank you Mark for the tips with the rivots I've been soda blasting mine on my 359 Pete so I tried the brass brush works great thanks for the tip have fun

[@Docstantinople]

I’m so glad you decided against that blue color you sprayed on that door panel. I thought it was too dark and dull. I think you should stick to a brighter blue color similar to what’s on the truck previously.

[@MikeInBendOregon]

What a cool freakin grease'n machine LOL... If you want a color that pops, check out House of Kolor. Yes that's how it's spelled. They are a custom paint supplier in the U.S. They are known for doing cool colors, but some of the paints are a lot different to spray, and not really for people that haven't sprayed a lot of material, especially complex metallics and pearls... For the people that are tired of waiting for the Pete to be finished, it's a huge project. Yeah Mark kinda jumped past finishing it and started working on the KW, but that was his choice. I can tell you from experience that you have to be 110% worked up about the project you are working on, because if you aren't, the finished product will suffer, corners will get cut, and you will basically lose motivation. So if he was more enthused about doing the KW, then that's the project he needed to be working on. The others will all get done in time... I agree that the rivets do look really cool, but man that is SO much work. I'm glad I'm not doing it. It wouldn't have bothered me when I was younger but as I've gotten older I don't have any patience, and I'm a perfectionist so that's not a good combination LOL... That picture is very cool. The person that did it did a really good job 👍 I can paint any vehicle, any way you want, and it will be a true show quality paint job, but I can't do art work like that picture. I wish I could, but I can't. Not even close.

While you were at the workbench doing your mail call I noticed that Stanley black chrome tool kit. it looks to be the same exact set I have always seen I have been looking at Stanley's site and they do not make that particular kit anymore and would and would love to have one when I go to junk lots for things It used to retail for about 100 bucks. Now other places sell that same set for twice as much and and seems out of my price range Maybe someday I will get lucky and find one in my price range But I usually have the snooze you lose way of things on me for finding things

Ford blueprint blue is nice

[@sambryant5662]

@TwinStix, might I suggest Legendary Blue or Plenty Fish in the Sea Blue. Both are a vibrant color and contain a metallic or pearl essence that will really pop in the sun.

[@jaysonsears8686]

I definitely agree with the brass wire wheel but i would recommend a air power di-grinder. Spins faster so not as much effort and no dead batteries or hot drills. But it is more noisy like the da sanders

[@jonkline5519]

Looks like you are getting to it As far as bunk glass goes I would recommend replacement with pre tinted glass like on SUVs and minivans on the back Then I could see getting custom decals made to put the twin sticks logo on the back window plus little by little plus you're Wayland sticker that would be cool

You’ll need a windshield … unless you drive it part movie correct with the roof sheared off 😊

Hey Mark 🙂 Have a look at Bentley’s “Sequin Blue” and “Marlin”. Also “Kingfisher” which is/was used by Bentley and (maintaining a PACCAR connection) Foden as the launch demonstrator colour for the Alpha range back in the day 🙂 I reckon “Marlin” might be just what you’re looking for; “Sequin Blue” is darker but REALLY pops in sunlight, and “Kingfisher” is slightly lighter 😎

Hey Mark, never ever succumb to popular demand. This is your hobby and although we do as I said, live vicariously through you, you do things that your speed some of us just have developed an unnatural attachment to little by little I still have this idea that your OCD will get the better of you and you’re going to replace every hook bolt in the entire truck just because some of them have been sanded down and are not showroom quality dimensions, lol I’ve also wondered and I know you’ve put a lot of work into the fenders on the hood, but you have never thought about getting some of those custom Peterbilt fenders with the flares to the rear watching your show you take care and just have fun

Keep the body shop videos cumming, I love watching them. A very dark metallic blue that has a high % of Metallic in it would look very good on LBL. Chevrolet had a decent dark metallic blue they used in 2022 on cars.. I will float this idea by for some graphics, how about graphics to make it look like the Peterbilt from the movie" Black Dog" starring Patrick Swayze.

Hi Mark this is Mike in Indiana. Good thinking on the color. When you first painted that skin I thought that was it. It fit the truck well. But it seems as tho it has darkened so good call on something more flasher. By the way love the episodes, great channel
