Sanding videos are more fun if you drink a shot every time Mark says 'we're painting next' or 'I'm close, real close'... 🤣 Five shots in...

[@MetalNicky1983]

It’s mid day here in England mark, I’ll have to go find a truck to hide under at work to watch this episode 🤣👍🏻

[@78mikehayes]

There’s guys ducking and diving all over the world watching this. (From an Irish man in Holland)

[@richardgreenlaw1442]

A paint job is 95 % preparation and 5 % paint. It takes time to do it right. You're doing great .

[@keithkelley8913]

Starting a restitution on a 92 ford aeromax ltla 9000. Love watching you video.

[@stovebolt448]

Mark, just keep telling yourself "Body work is fun, body work is great, I love body work"

[@johnrose8569]

Your high fill will take care of the sanding scratches and improfections I think it's going to come out looking fantastic cause for taking your time and going over and over and fixing any little bits that may have been missed put another feather in your cap Mark for another profession u have taught yourself and there's never a better feeling then stepping back and looking at something your done yourself that others pay people to do keep up the good work

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video mark thumbs up and shared

[@Ralph94967]

Mark the biggest smile is gonna be when the paints on the truck knowing you did all by your self the gleam of the finished paint job just makes your heart happy also the amount of folks who have been waiting for the day your done painting gonna make us all happy

[@waiarikiwaiariki]

It's been awesome following your journey on the Peter bilt can't wait for the next episode of your build. Watching from New Zealand 😎👍👍

[@ricklightfoot2738]

Mark, I'm glad you received the Lemans parts and the lightbar lens. The lightbar is a Federal Visibar with model 11 twin beacon rays.

[@HitokiriRaiden]

The ol girl has come along way from where you started, will be a good looking rig when its done.

[@cowboy5252]

Mark, you tenacity is boundless, your attention to detail phenomenal, really looking forward to seeing “Little by Little” in Blue paint I’m sure it’ll pop in the sunlight! Keep up the good work bud, from a sunny day here in the South West of England (one of few) cheers for now. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@grimreaper6112]

its how good the prep is that will show the finished product.

[@maxihaugh1267]

I love your determination and attention to detail Mark. LBL will be amazing when complete.

[@bobogilvie4472]

Well I sure hope it turns out well for YOU because YOU AND YOUR FAMILY have given up a lot to complete the truck.

[@downrightme6811]

When it’s your truck, you’re way is the right way 😊

[@alandiaz3020]

Looks mean with the visor love it

[@dragonfreak480]

like I said in the past, It's a labor of love to be working on these old rigs.

[@1one3_Racing]

I wouldn't worry too much about getting it perfect. Once you've sprayed primer you can soak it in wax and grease remover and that shows your imperfections so much easier than feeling for them

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Mark & Mrs. Twin Stick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mark & Mrs.Twins Stick & Friends Randy

[@nigelhales874]

Preparation is the key mark ‼️ in any resto of any truck 🚛🚒 or car thanks 👍 for a superb video Thursday evening UK

[@Antonymorris1.6]

It be worth it Mark when aee the finish

[@conwayconway2177]

Morning Twinsticks garage family ❤🇨🇦💙🇺🇸✝️...much love from the heart of the states.. perryville Missouri...thanks for these projects...I know looking forward, that I've got a plenty of more Thursdays coming, to look forward to..

[@revival1014]

perfection is hard to achieve unless you do like you are,part why you r u!!! grate work

[@wclearwater1]

I first subscribed to your channel at about ep5 when you first found little by little and started on KZbin , and I have absolutely no issue with watching body work and sanding for episodes, because this is what building old trucks is about and it shows exactly how hard and long it takes to do all this with limited time... so just keep on doing what and how you do the your channel... cheers mate 👌👌

[@stansdds]

Thursday, time to see what Mark has done to LBL. Yep, just when you think you are near the end of the body work, you find little issues. Good thing you did check the visor mounting before priming!

[@sodapop8408]

Wow I’m setting on both hands to keep from waving at everyone anxiously waiting that paint going on LBL 👍👍👍✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎

[@larryspencer76]

With hard work comes rewards

[@danbinkerd4453]

That truck will be a stunner. You are doing great

[@larryblankenship8104]

Mark great job as allways my friend. Take your time on the old boy. Can't wait to see you finally get it done pat yourself on the back my friend I injoy your videos thanks for sharing❤

[@steventhomas1667]

Luv you work Mark watched every episode little by little came along way Cheers Steve Australia

[@robbyblack2699]

Great episode. Some of us love the body work

[@bush600r2]

Allot of hard work alright! Well done Mark. Will be all worth it in the end. Keep up the good work👍

[@tiddums1151]

I sanded and painted my entire 1980 Chevy truck, box off. I enjoyed it at the time. But watching you now and being older. I sure wouldn't wanna do it again.

[@82randyacman]

It’s going look sweet after all that hard work

[@billysmith2494]

Keep on going brother you got this can't wait to see the paint work done love what you are doing keep up the good work

[@michaelhertwig4528]

Coming along nicely.

[@johnrose8569]

U can use spot putty for those holes as well and there's no mixing with it u use it straight out of the tin and just walk around and fill any imperfections

[@neilfairless4589]

Been watching a good few years now Marc, you always get it done. We are right behind you fella.

[@christopherrapley6432]

After etching primer to make montana blue sky pop, use a very light gray-white primer or a white primer dark gray will make it to dark

[@alanduncan8167]

Keep up with the Saturday's mark, she will be on the road for you to enjoy very soon ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@paulwiley9102]

Almost, but not quite. We will see it in primer one day. keep looking and finding all those little imperfections. The more you find and fix will show later.

[@TwinStix]

Hopefully only one more episode 😂

[@kingdougie80]

Mark I’ve watched all your videos I was thinking top 10 of subscriber you had back in the day. I’ve had little by little done in my head for about 4 years now. I really hope you live up to my standards on how this turns out 😂 keep up the hard work

[@stevencaka]

Hello 👋 Mark!! “Little By Little” is getting there sir. 💁‍♂️😉👍 Lots of hard work 😓💪 and it’ll look 👀 great soon

[@bov634]

Making good progress.

[@grantbradford8960]

Hello mark I watch all of your videos I’ve been watching your videos for years since you had first found little by little

[@620JK]

Always follow the paint manufactures suggested re coat times. Will really help prevent orange peel

[@BrokenWrenches]

You may think about shooting the roof cap on the sleeper first??? There is a perfect mask line under the cap. Your going to potentially bite off more than you can chew trying to do it all at once… What you have to know is that having adequate time to lay down your clear nice and pretty is super important. if you try to do to much surface at one time you won’t have time to really slick it out good. this will lead to dry spots, runs and you will be fighting the clock as far as chasing a dry line from where you first started to where you get worked back around to the same area. the clear will flash before you can get all the way around, especially if your trying to move scaffolding and stuff. Doing the roof first will also allow you to tune your technique and practice a little on an area nobody will see. Clear has to remain wet/unflashed as your circling the vehicle. KZbin videos on wet/dry lines while applying clearcoat….. On another note Clearcoat fogs out a paint booth much more than basecoat or single stage. trying to do to large of an area at once in a relatively confined space will cause a near ‘white out’ condition and make it very difficult to see what your doing. Clearcoat dries hard as rock so you DO NOT want to be trying to sand it down to fix mistakes. Remember --small chunks at a time.

[@jeffsmith350]

Looking great!

[@workinprogress6726]

Hey man. Doing a great job Little tip for endless body work. Pick/tape off a section of the truck that needs a attention and focus on that till it's ready.then move to another section. It's easy to keep moving around alot amd miss things. I promise body work will go faster. Good luck buddy. Much love from Kyle from oklahoma,USA.

[@billferris5292]

Looks good bud, it's really coming along considering you're doing it in your free time.

[@69hayes48]

nice work Mark check the visor mounting before you finish your body work it doesn't mount to hole on roof cap both holes are in pillar and it goes snug to drip rail little window bow tie visor would look nice on there

[@garydault8805]

It’s looking good Mark. Can’t wait to see paint go on.

[@Louie2309]

From someone that does this work. Take the sleeper and bonnet off the chassis and work on it at ground level. And do it over two days. Cab one day. Bonnet sleeper second day. It’s a big job. While doing your final sand, put a guide coat down to find any low spots that might need more filling.

[@1one3_Racing]

It's a metallic paint. I'd drop the sleeper because there's a gap, but I'd do a drop coat with the hood closed so the metallics lay flat across the body lines. There's an air cleaner there so you won't see it. But I'd know it was there!

[@Niteskate1]

It's paying attention to things like those little pits and pinholes that make all the difference.

[@UnbannMe]

At work we use evercoat rage ultra body filler. It's incredibly easy to sand but works alot better than most other filler. When ready for glaze we throw a little fiberglass resin in it and it's cheaper and works exactly like glaze

[@johnmelling9950]

Mark, when you use that 2k clear coat, you will find its much harder to polish the orange peel out of it. I would advise you put plenty of clear on so you have enough to sand off and get a really smooth show truck finish. You will also need wool pads and rotary polsher for the cutting stage and id recommend you get some 3D ACA 510 compound as its the fastest cutting compound that ive ever come across. Follow it up with 3D ACA 520 on a soft foam pad and it will leave the paint looking dripping wet.

[@arrowkart4j]

Make sure you use the aluminum etching solution. Otherwise big problems later.

[@mikemike5190]

You picked a beauty of a visor Mark , that looks sweet !

[@lesgaal4017]

Don't let people's comments make you take short cuts just take your time, then when you think you're done get someone with fresh eyes to look over your work. Patients and no time is not against you it's your friend. Cheers Australia.

[@spottedhoss1920]

Mornin Mark, If everyone who comments on here was able to look at your trucks up close and in person I'm sure they would see the amount of hours that you put in, Nothing done that well is done overnight. The problem is some of the things you do, you make it look to easy. I my friend am very patient I have plans to watch every episode until LBL is completed, I'm sure when it's done there will be another award sitting on your shelf. Have a great week Mark say Hi to Mrs. Twin stix for us.

[@leemiller5314]

you rock Mark!

[@fredbancroft6436]

I can't believe your letting all that dust go on snow man😮

[@user-re6yo7tj5s]

Dust blows off.

[@dieselentity6039]

Gathered here with friends for another episode of twinstix "!!

[@tonynorris1250]

Montague is pronounced MON TAYGE brother! God Bless you and yours!

[@Ralph94967]

Bud your getting their little by little

[@ehcatsfaneric2211]

Whenever we paint one we set up scaffold on wheels and just lay down and paint and roll back to do the top..really easy

[@kevinmartin5375]

Keep on truckin on the sanding it sure will pay off.

[@traviswise9324]

It wouldn't be old LBL if it was done in one episode I've been invested since day one and love the attention to detail keep it up also remember Rome wasn't built in a day

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

nice job mark, now you have to CONSENTRATE, on the final furlong loved the vid hooray.

[@69castellano]

You should NEVER stir the body filler. always fold it over. When you stir, you whip air into it and thus you get pinholes in it after you sand.

[@jonathanb246]

Looking forward to watching the "Cirque Du Ensemble Routier"... ie: painting a semi while using gymnastic rings...

[@DM-qm5sc]

"Body Glaze" 😉

[@UnbannMe]

Durablocks forcurves they are a foam block with a little bit of a bend

[@friesenkenley]

Hi from Nicaragua

[@daveroth1260]

Hey Mark, I have watched every episode from day one, you are doing a amazing job, I have watched alot of stuff from Bad Chad, learned alot from him on fab work and body work, keep up the awesome work from Minnesota here

[@eyeballdude]

Loving these sanding episodes! It really shows how much work lays behind a nice paint job! You’re doing great for keeping at it! I don’t know if you already have it but there’s a soft-plate for the DA which is really helpful for those rounded surfaces! Keep up the good work there buddy! Been watching since day one 👊

[@timeberhardt2633]

The peterbilts going to look good at the end results when it looks like glass when you paint it that's going to be awesome

[@MeetJoeBlack55]

I just took my Pete down to Earl Scheib and got it painted for 49.95 ....... LOL.

[@arthuroffill8005]

In the words of peg . You do need to do a grate paint job. Just splash paint on it. Love watching your love for old trucks.

[@TwinStix]

This truck’s too special to me but I hear you 😂

[@69castellano]

He is correct in saying that he needs to sand everything down to a 320 grit before primer.

[@bensymington5550]

❤❤ I love your videos, awesome content

[@Greg-x8g]

Hi mark should use light sky blue to paint your trucks love seeing your shows every time so cool 😎

[@thecapturban]

We are here Mark❤ no matter what.. it will get done "Lil by Lil" until it's "Lotta by Lot" done😂

[@MrNota500]

Yeah 320-400 grit is where you want to be for primer or paint to stick. Any smoother and it doesn't have enough tooth to stick.

[@randyhouse219]

Mon-taig is how we pronounce it here in Texas, boy!

[@se5asco]

According to the Karate Kid movie you are at least a black belt by now.

[@1chish]

You eloquently and visually showed why I absolutely hate any form of bodywork. I am OK welding in panels and OK with sealing and painting undersides but topsides? NAH! You have my utter admiration mate and LbL is going to be a beauty. You have the determination of the people that climb Everest - one step at a time but Its not something I can do. I would rather be good at somethings (like restoring cars and building engines, gearboxes, sorting electrics etc) than produce poor bodywork. So I admit defeat on that

[@TwinStix]

Yeah those autobody professionals sure earn their $$$ 👍

[@coffeecan7440]

Cheers Mr. TwinStick! Thanks for all the great content. Been a sub since early on and enjoy every episode

[@brianburgett5894]

I still suggest putting your transmission in before you start painting . That would help from scuffing up your paint .

[@TwinStix]

No it’s completely underneath the rails so shouldn’t be an issue 👍

[@johnmcpherson1988]

As much of pain it would be, consider taking the bunk off and painting in the other bay, you won’t regret it.

[@dinkybacon_9686]

Looking good mark been here since day one hope all is going well😊

[@kevindiesenroth4134]

The light bar is called a Federal Signal Vizza bar the model 100 was the newer light it had a halogen bulb with a rotator that went around it the federal 14 is the same light that's on the Vizza bar but the one on the Vizza bar is called model 11 there is one of those on craigslist in Chicago Illinois if you're there's a vintage light dealer there who has one for sale just thought I'd let you know

[@billreynolds1749]

Afternoon mark, have you looked in Ontario for the blue lenses, all old runway and highway snow removal vehicles use amber and Blue. We get some shipped here, we just leave them on. There must be hundreds available in equipment yards there.

[@trapper-kl5tl]

Your ocd is getting the best of you. The etching primer will cover the small stuff

[@TwinStix]

The etch won’t but the high build should but I figure I’ll do my best with it JIC 🤔

[@RandyDerrick-zq9wj]

Mark the hard work you do at the TwinStick Tractor-Trailer Garage I'd buy you a 30 pack of Coors beer

[@paulolson6380]

The best paint jobs are 90% prep

[@billyhaddock5540]

Still waiting for the 359 Pete to be painted Mark.. good job so far..

[@TwinStix]

You and me both 😂

[@jennallen1979]

Mark we removed the steps on the front and rear of the fenders before paint and then we had issues painting the inside edge of the fender so ended up taking the fenders off and painting them and the hood separate from the cab and bunk . Just saying it's hard to paint the underside of the front steps

[@claudemills1961]

I'm sure you've tried them, but the foam and sanding blocks work good on curved areas
