On The Hunt Ep.44 Seeking Justice
#onthehunt #snowmanspeedshop #projectsnowman
So this On The Hunt episode is a little different - if you’ve been around this channel for awhile, you know I’m a big fan of the movie Smokey and the Bandit. I’ve built a real-life replica of the Snowman truck and trailer and I’ve started building the Bandit TransAM, however, I’ve always had the idea in the back of my mind of making a Buford cop car to round out the collection but I always figured it would be something I’d tackle down the line but then I stuble across something amazing right here in my hometown. The only question now is, should I build the Buford car from the beginning or the end of the film? Enjoy!
Thanks for watching and as always, I appreciate all the comments, suggestions, and support!
Also, be sure to check out my new CZcams channel Snowman Speed Shop www.youtube.com/@SnowmanSpeedShop
As always, keep in mind, I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts

    @Tall_Texan86 Před 11 minutami

    I'd go for the field fresh car, it sound like it fit what you'd want to do more with chopping the roof off ,since it's already damaged and rusty no loss there. The wrecked movie car would be a hell of a head Turner sitting out beside the trans am and the kenworth at the car show.

    I think you need both of them!! Have the interior done on the good one, chop the top off and dye the interior and paint the wreck! It would be a lot of work but really cool!! You really need the nice one, it's almost there!!

    @eyend1z495 Před 54 minutami

    I'd say get the finished car because you already have the car you need to do any work for it and it'll give you more time to finish on the trans Am but and you only live once so I say by the one that's already made

  • @danielseelye6005
    @danielseelye6005 Před 56 minutami

    I would wager to get the junker first. Save it from rusting and degrading even further. The more complete one can be gotten another time, especially since you've made that connection with the owner.

    @canadaguy1234 Před hodinou

    I think you were right the first time, it's the 77 grille you want, 76 is ones you've been seeing. Without knowing what the guy wants for the finished one don't forget to add in the time to find one and deal with the paint and body work and finding that proper light bar too. The junker is probably the best route to take even if you just buy it for future parts!

    A 'Needle Nose' Kenworth W900, a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, Pontiac Le Mans, and Cadillac Eldorado would be my dream Smokey and the Bandit collection. If resources allow, I'd go for both the field Le Mans, and the running example. Then you can have both an intact, and a 'convertible' car for shows. They'd look terrific together.

    I'd agree with most comments on buying the fully running Lemans. The junker looks nice but the frame has been sitting in dirt for 10 years and it probably looks like swiss cheese. When I built your model of the truck and car, I aslo looked for the Lemans. There is no model of it but i did find a resin body. Still a lot more to source. Go with the runner Mark!
