Peterbilt 359 Restoration Ep.99 Don’t Rush The Brush

#littlebylittle359 #projectporkchop #snowmanspeedshop
Now that winter’s coming, I need to get this truck painted before it gets too cold so it’s all hands on deck … some final filler, sanding and mock-up but I actually finish the bodywork on LBL in this episode and I’m finally over the hump - can you believe it??? Now time to finish setting up the booth, mask it off, wipe it down and start slinging primer and paint - can’t wait!

I’ve looked for it all morning but it hasn’t showed up on my Patreon yet

[@CohenTaylor-nr5mi]

Hay twinstix you should put some more iron duke videos on KZbin

[@brianwillert2833]

I would love to join Patreon . However when I only get an Australian old age pension of $800 per fortnight its a bit out of my reach.

[@chrisbrown7362]

I understand you love Smokey And The Bandit but I'm poor and living vicariously through you and have recently become obsessed with "Duel." You know, once you get finished with your Bandit Trio. No pressure. A red Plymouth Valiant would look so good in your yard.

[@thedrop1454]

Be happy Mark! You have a wife who understands the hobby so much! So a lot of thanks to Misses TwinStick at this place! The main thing is you have to be happy with the result of your job. I'm looking forward! Stay safe & take care!

[@snoman003]

"All down hill from here" Famous last words... Well done on the progress.

[@peterwilson4999]

Good job Mark, I am a retired trucker, drove for 45-50 years and I love seeing classic trucks being restored. I haven't got too much else to do but watch guys like you bring the best back. PETER

[@iain3411]

Don't rush the brush , what a line. Can't wait for next week.

[@billprell6938]

It’s definitely getting there . When you are done you will be extremely happy you put the extra effort into it. I enjoy your content . Keep up the entertaining. Videos!

[@sethfust3675]

Don't forget tack cloth! Those babies are your best friend. Over use of a tack cloth is the best use of a tack cloth!! So excited to see the process from bare metal to beautiful blue! You got this Mark!!!

[@MikeInBendOregon]

Don't press hard on the tack cloth. It will leave residue on the surface, and that's not a good thing.

[@maltlickymalitia4809]

Am I the only person in trucking that prefers the original visors over the aftermarket chrome ones.

[@fredrikgustafsson8]

Old is cool...👍

[@ehhjeep]

No sir. Sorry Mark I hate drop visors. They only give a poor view out front.

[@TheRGSfan]

No you're not the only one.

[@Xavier_Sardonic]

You and three other guys 😂

[@maltlickymalitia4809]

@ Eleven and counting.

[@daanschaap7440]

Nice shiney visor. Totaly perfect with a nice set of hadley’s on the roof 😎

[@kevinkeech7906]

Oh mark the magic of Hollywood I like how in the beginning of the chase scene the white tractor was ford cl 9000 single axle and then it magical turned into a international loadstar tandem axle 😂😂

[@buddywicket5544]

Yeah but I think that’s a transtar

[@ChiefStones]

I saw that too

[@620JK]

Can’t believe it, no movie playing in the shop

[@WeldingandWheeling]

Your quality of work is amazing! But your work ethic and dedication is next level! Super inspiring

[@paulanicol6253]

I have been waiting for you to paint this truck since the first episode mark , I can’t wait

[@truckercowboyrobertharris6787]

No worries, Mark, i enjoy watching you work on LBL. Can't wait to see LBL in blue paint.

[@dragonfreak480]

seeing you working on your Peterbilt gets me thinking if i'd ever see and able to buy my dream semi truck I would and I learn how to fix, repair, and paint it. my dream semi truck a any year kenworth k100 aerodyne sleeper.

[@FierroDuroRails]

Wow, I remember watching this when I was a kid.. those old mexican trucker movies were great... the actor in the international cab over is Valentin Trujillo...

[@daanschaap7440]

And totaly awsome to finaly get to paint after such a long time of hard work 👌🏼👌🏼

[@toby0395]

Trust me you want to use riv nuts to mount your visor, not hucks. It's 5 times easier to change a windshield if you can easily take the visor off.

[@warrengee-f9l]

you will be ok Mark .. you still have 2 Pontiacs & a Freightshaker to sand on😁

[@Dana-nv4ej]

Mr. twin sticks good morning I’ve been reading some of the comments how wonderful there’s so many positive people out there encouraging you. You do realize you’re very close to having a cult following.

[@garyallowayjralloway2126]

I officially want to move to Canada i just seen a 36 pack of coors banquet

[@BrokenWrenches]

Thanks for accepting advice from career body and paint guys.!!! We want to see you win big and not make the same costly and soul draining mistakes we’ve made in the past 😂 take your time and make sure you don’t bite off too much at once. Also you can buy super cheap plastic at autobody supply places that is really thin and works great to cover whole cars/tables/semis. really saves a ton of cleanup. keep up the good work man.

[@nateclardy1690]

Gangster style 4 inch drop front fenders

[@Mike.trucks]

Hi mate just wanted to say the more you machine sand the filler the more work you make for yourself as your rubbing the high bit of filler that creates low spots around the repair which you can see in the outcome.if you spread the filler more and use a block to flatten out before primer.cheers keep up the good work from New Zealand

[@TheBIGPAPPA74]

I truly do enjoy all your episodes because you’re doing something. I would love to be able to do. keep making those videos. I look forward to seeing the results in the end.

[@scotttait2197]

Also looking forward to paint!.... like that you got the light bar for bufords car!

[@keithhogg1963]

Hey Mark, I have been enjoying your channel. Love the Snowman truck. Watched the video on putting the vinyl on it. Watched the video you taking her to a kw show. Anyway. I’m a fairly new fan. My brother was a trucker driver. Been doing that all the way up in his early 70ies. Pancreatic cancer took his life. So I have always been a fan of trucks and truck driving. Because of my brother. Thank you for having this channel. You’re very talented on what you do. And have the time and patience doing it. My brother went by either Boss or Bosshogg. See that’s our last name lol. Take care good buddy.

[@iannorris182]

little by little is gonna be awesome I was impressed to hear James Pretty talkin about you the other day..I dont know how you guys all watch each other and have the time to do what you do.

[@JackFord-kr5xc]

Finally paint . Can't wait to see lbl done and all the parts bolted back on.

[@johnnymcgrew2816]

Your doing a great job take your time and enjoy the work even if it takes 2 years lol I take in consideration on the sanding videos that's it helps me see and learn things for myself to so keep up the good work .God Bless

[@Antonymorris1.6]

It be worth it in the end .preparation makes perfection

[@glennchuckie773]

Morning Mark, please please stop apologising, it can't be rushed and I'm sure we're all with you however long it takes, as the saying goes "little by little" Great work great channel! 😉 🍻

[@dougwilson9636]

Thanks for another great video Mark. I can appreciate your drive and determination as being an auto enthusiast and home painter of limited ability, I totally understand the pain of doing body work over and over and over. Its dusty, dirty and the least fun part of rebuilding and restoration but as you stated, its one area you don't want to skimp on. Little by Little is coming along nicely and is going to look fabulous once its finally in paint!!!!

I may be speaking only for myself.. but it's the process.. not the end result I enjoy the most

[@markdesanctis8688]

there is nothing more interesting than watching someone sand a vehicle on youtube. im really looking forward to the part where we watch the paint dry.

[@TwinStix]

😂 all part of the process…

[@dustinbass-tz2tm]

Good job Mark 👏

[@oregonfordguy9812]

soooo close. can't wait for the finished project.

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video mark cant wait to see when it is fully painted thumbs up and shared

[@dustinrhodes3720]

looking good bro keep up the good trucking build

[@Southalabamaoutdoors]

Mark use riv nuts on visor not huk. please remove all that paper you have currently on there before you paint it cause it's holding so much dust and will get in the paint

[@canadianwolf6582]

Mark im glad to see lil by lil finely going in paint i watched you build her in ur garage Dont Forget to wet floor down b4 you paint it will keep the dust down from hose dragiging hose bring up dust in your paint good luck

[@bobogilvie4472]

I know that feeling of others might not notice but you do.

[@billysmith2494]

Keep up the good work brother so glad to see you back working on little by little it needs to be done and sitting proud with snow man can't wait to see it done my friend

[@mickthurston9883]

Finally Mark. It's gonna look a million. Mick T London

[@bobcobb7719]

Great job Mark! Likely by time I see this episode you’re already done painting but When I paint in my “all purpose” shop I use the same fan as you have and really like it. The only addition I make is that I made a frame with 2x4 and plywood with a fan sized hole in it which sits on the floor then I bring the door down onto that. Helps keep the heat in and forces the fan to just draw air from the shop. I’ll open the man door which in my case is on the exact opposite end of the shop as needed so some return air come in. Works really well.

[@mikerooney7928]

Great Job Mark!!

[@stephensimpson5283]

90% done, 90% to o!

[@henryperez3922]

Good job, the body work was hard but looking good. I hope to see next episode to appreciate your ingenious way of painting. Keep going.

[@spottedhoss1920]

Mornin Mark, I bet you are happy that you can put away the sand paper for awhile hey? LBL is looking good and that viser is primo, I have never seen one that fit that nice. Have a great week my friend say hello to Mrs. Twin stix for us.

[@Silverrodo8104]

Mark ots been remarkable to watch you go from thefeild to where your at now. Take your time make sure that your happy with it my friend. You have tought me alot on those projects keep up the great work. If you got it a trucker brought it❤

[@JonSchuler-tz9fb]

Twinstick, you make it a good day when you put out a new video. Love how good your projects are looking

[@vinceschannel8927]

Mark keep up the great work! Been following along since the beginning. Please be careful doing gymnastics when painting the roof on the sleeper 😂😂

[@johnmalone2680]

Look at Kona Blue for a paint color it really makes the chrome pop😊

[@paulatherton9655]

Hi from the uk doin a great job keep it up cant wait to see it in paint it seems like it has been a long time but will be worth it you have done a fantasic job my friend

[@conwayconway2177]

Oh HAPPY Friday Wooooo 🤘😎...I saved the best for last ...thanks twinsticks garage family ✝️❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸💙😎......ps...I thought I had it till the foreign language come on😂😂😂...now I don't know...oh and also Mark..I sent you a email a few times asking about the price on the flap weights..

[@TwinStix]

Don’t recall seeing the emails 🤔 maybe try [e-mail]

[@thomasbarclay9083]

Good morning Mark it’s your truck. I’m enjoying watching you work gives me the confidence to one day strip my truck down and paint it.

[@markuren3320]

Well done mark for finishing the sanding, love the content brother. Mark from the UK

[@stevecrazyrednecktrucker4006]

that movie is from when taco bell tried taco delivery, too m any accidents with those spicy tacos!

[@tommyhall2768]

You are getting there buddy good luck

[@stovebolt448]

Thanks for the video Mark.

[@Thattruckguy379]

I’ll be honest it’s so nice to see a true movie replica Smokey n the bandit trans am kenworth and Buford’s Car I’ve wanted to don’t same thing for a while ( I can’t now I also live in Edmonton berta) so I guess I’ll just have to cruise and build the gremlin truck from overdrive

[@nummnuts22]

What you need is a curtin rod or track along the top sectioning off each bay. Thus way you can paint in any bay. Best thing I did in my garages, slide or tuck them off to the side when not being used and easy to set up when needed.

[@robbyblack2699]

It’s too late to say this, but, the best way to clean and prep for primer is vinegar wipe the alcohol wipe.

[@gregboettcher5523]

You have to keep in mind who you are building for. If you’re building it for yourself then make sure you are happy.

[@jamesjournell867]

Hello, & the heights that u will go..... on yur channel is remarkable 😂🎉😅😮

[@derekmorris7556]

Take your time time is money🎉

[@dougbailey392]

That movie clip reminds me of driving on the 401 lately. ……..

[@TwinStix]

Yeah some folks on that road can be aggressive for sure 😂

[@sethfust3675]

Also, maybe tyvek across the gantry low away from the heater to the tarp you already put up taped to the floor as a secondary protection for anything behind the fifth wheel. Just an idea. Great job on the body work!

[@Dana-nv4ej]

Lol hey Mark, take your time do it right I was still laughing about the idea that you are going to replace all the huck boots before you paint it I can relate to your OCD.

[@AlisonFort]

🤞for the next episode - paint is going to be worth the wait!

[@johnmclean1482]

Ur skill set is amazing I wish I could do what you do

[@MeetJoeBlack55]

Okay Mark ..... less talking, more painting ...... LOL :)

[@johnmelling9950]

Mark, be mindful that the clear will stick like glue to everything thats not covered up as it stays wetter for longer than the single stage paints. I would even advise you move any vehicles away from the outside of the shop. You also should have an air fed mask.

[@anthonygugliotti9559]

My suggestion is to buy a shop wall exhaust fan to you don’t have to worry about the fumes, tho nice work on little by little

[@SOT03Y]

Hey Mark, you missed a spot! :P

[@nigelhales874]

Preparation is the key 🗝️🔐 mark Ole better late than never it 1..21.. Friday morning early 🌟⭐ 15..11.24 is your buddy coming over to help you it's going to look the dog's bollocks when it's sprayed take you're time mark ‼️‼️ God bless Canada

[@markfierke8565]

I don’t know what movie that is but, the cab over changed three times. It went from a White to a Ford and then to a International

[@TwinStix]

Yeah they sure struggled with continuity 😂

[@allyouneed71]

Good Morning

[@diamond_industries]

Enter sandman

[@countryshaner141]

And yet it is another sanding video

[@TwinStix]

Go watch the primer episode on Patreon 👀

[@kylederry5031]

Prime time tv

[@Louie2309]

Good lord. Gymnastic rings!…what next? Use that gantry and lift the sleeper down to the ground so you can safely walk around all four sides, and remove the hood from the chassis as well. . There is a few of us on here that have painted more than one truck that giving you good after years of learning so you don’t have to make mistakes.

[@TwinStix]

It’s quite a reach to the middle of a 63” bunk…

[@Louie2309]

@ yep, we do a few of them.

[@TwinStix]

@@Louie2309must have longer arms than me lol

[@Louie2309]

@ from the ground working around all four sides you can reach and get good coverage. On cabovers we use a mobile aerial platform to raise up and down and work from all sides. You start working on a cabover roof and realise how far the other side is to reach.

[@OryButterwick]

Dont huck your visor on Mark!!! If you need to replace a windshield, theyll likely need you to take it off to change glass. I have to take mine off on my 359 and my 379!

[@justink3657]

23:10 mark could u get a big tarp for the back maybe cheaper like a 30x40

[@Tf9500]

LBL 😊

[@jakemorrison482]

Just think of the outcome mark! That truck will be a show pony when finished, the more hours you put into it the better the results..

[@OrlandoBoneshirt]

Damn has it been five years already?

[@tater_relocater]

Use nutzerts on the visor mount so if for whatever reason you can’t remove it. WOW never seen that movie.

[@shadowthehedgehogandgaster2727]

Yooo let's go a new video!!

[@yosvi85]

Looking good! Have you thought about painting the inside of the visor the same color as the truck?!

[@TwinStix]

Fantastic idea👌

[@WhyBYourself]

i cant help but think we might see a clip of a body shaped paint mark on the top of the roof in the future because Mark's hand slipped off the ring.

[@blobnation8457]

It’ll buff

[@davidtweten3797]

in that movie clip when it started he was in a ford cab over then goes into a international cabover

[@brianburgett5894]

When you get that far match the color of your shifters and knobs to the color or the truck .

[@gavinknight8868]

Its starting to take shape be good to see it in primmer soon. Are you painting the mounts on the front and back of the fenders?

[@lesgaal4017]

Mark looks like you need another shop.

[@David-jz1qh]

👍

[@OutBackSmallEngine]

Good morning . You've going to need to rename your truck to "The Bondo Express" 😂 just kidding 😊

[@Vankeith-u6x]

I see you got the light bars for the Pontiac LeMans, very good. But the mounting hardware is wrong. In the first movie I noticed that he had hooked on mounts for the light bars, you got gutter mounting hardware.

[@TwinStix]

I’m aware … already started looking for the movie correct ones 👀
