We Painted Westen Champlin's $200,000 Peterbilt 379!!

Gentry & Sons Trucking needed some help in the middle of a really big project....rebuilding Westen Champlin's Peterbilt 379. With less than 4 weeks to go before the Mid America Trucking Show (MATS) we had to get this portion of the work done extremely quick but knew it also had to be perfect. Part 2 of this video is to follow showing the truck being assembled and MAYBE the frame also gets new paint?!

Hats off to all the guys I love Tim and the guys but your guys stepping in just guaranteed the final look Tim's been promising for a while couldn't have happened without you thanks for giving a guy what he deserves

[@FitzgeraldCollisionRepair]

We’re thankful we got the chance to be involved 👍

[@WVT0587]

Absolutely, Timmy gentry is a joke and was in way over his head!

[@TakinBumpsNBlownScales]

​@WVT0587 and you're a little 🐈 living off the state, see the difference

[@anthonyholloman5736]

​@WVT0587 just an FYI if you don't have anything good to say then do us all a big flavor and quit putting negative comments cause I don't see you running a trucking company

[@wallybertram477]

Hey… Tim’s just a guy whose doing what he loves and trying to do the best he can… more then i can say for a lot of people…. He is however smart enough to get the right people involved to do what it takes to get a project like this over the line. Kuddos to him for letting them handle it and knocking it out of the park… hope the rest of the truck turns out the same..!

[@glens2036]

From what I have seen already, Westen's Pete is going to look spectacular! You all did a fantastic job!

[@FitzgeraldCollisionRepair]

Thank you! It came out so nice 😃

It isn't the same truck. The original truck was scrapped except for the engine.

Timmy was never finishing this truck without FCR and SH Tube

[@dalestevens4683]

Hell he can't even finish his own shit much less somebody else's

Someone else always has to finish his "jobs"......

[@billtodd6509]

Well he does know how to use a Jake Brake and in stall 8 inch straight pipes.@@moondog3162

[@thomasreed5856]

I said when Tim got Westons truck it never be finished that Weston would end up whipping Tim's a$$ or sale it to him for nothing because Tim would tell him the labor bill is so high no one would pay for it and truck would never be finished thank God for Rob at SHTube calling in some favors he has at Fitzgeralds to get this truck finished because he new Tim was lost out of place hell Rooster was down a year before the fire burnt the motor and it was finished just waiting on Tim to put it back in if the fire never happed that truck would still be setting and this truck would be in the field at the farm waiting on someone to come and finish it for him just hope Tim finishes it up and not let it set and ruin this paint job

[@moondog3162]

You know Westin is much relieved to know that his truck is being painted by professionals 👍🏻👍🏻

he better give credit where credit is due. You guys killed it. It takes professionals for a job of this magnitude. Tim wouldn't have ever got it done and he knows it. Props to you guys for stepping up.

[@stevestevens9046]

Tim said it was ready for paint 😅 what a joke... Weston's lucky you guys stepped up and painted it... glad you're putting it on the frame... maybe Tim will get it done now maybe 🤔

[@bigjobford1956]

True Body and Paint Shop and It Shows from a cab that they thought was ready to the amount of work Fitzgerald did to make this a Successful Restoration, I think it’s a plus that they’re putting the cab on the frame and somewhat back together in your facility 🏆👊🏼🏆

FCR, there is one thing that you did that put the final stamp on the job and showed your true professionalism. You read every comment and politely answered every question about your process. I greatly admire the prep work and painting that you did. All of you at FCR, and I mean every person, are true professionals and actually produce "show quality" body and paint jobs. I am amazed and extremely impressed. Thank you for this complete and well-edited presentation. Best wishes for your continued growth and success from a huge fan in Arkansas! 😊 ❤

Tim is a great all around guy, with good intentions; But just because you know alot about mechanics and trucks, doesn`t mean you can do a show worthy paint and fabrication job. Some of you guys think he`s some kind of truck Guru.

Do they ever finish a project on their own. Heck EZ Rider up in northern North Dakota completely dissambled and rebuilt, painted, and upholstered his 359 in his single truck garage singlehandily(including a new cutoff install,plus a new third axle himself) and was back on the road in no time. This Westen job could have been finished a year ago by those Pakistani mechanics,right?
