On this episode I decided to install a 145db Train Horn and it’s STOOPID loud … also did some repair and touchup work to the hood.
Wanted to highlight the World Map project I’ve been working on with my daughter Kaylee … we wanted to visualize where all the TwinStick Garage fans are located and have started putting in pins for the hometowns of all the folks who contributed to their local charities and received TwinStick Garage stickers in return.
Really want to see where all the fans are located so when you subscribe to the channel, please let me know where you’re located in the comments and we’ll add a pin for you.
Subscribe for notifications on future episode of this restoration project and the next #ProjectSnowman, a Kenworth W900A tribute truck to the one used in the 1977 classic movie Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason. If you haven’t seen it yet, go find it on Netflix, iTunes or Amazon ... you can thank me later “This vehicle happens to be evidence…valuable evidence, that’s gonna convict a maniac, that I’ve been trying to apprehend, and have been in high speed pursuit of … for 700 miles”
As soon as I saw the video was out, I dropped everything to watch it

Hi from the UK watched all your videos keep them coming little by little
I had a five horn Leslie chime for almost twenty years, I had them on several different trucks in that time, I was an owner operator. I had a custom bracket built for them, I had to punch holes in the frame aft of the sleeper on all of the trucks they were on, they were a lot heavier than the horns you have. The bracket installed from the inside of the frame and pointed the horns at the ground. Don't mount them in a tight place.
Started watching in Sahuarita AZ, now in Palmer AK. Love the 359.
Watching in Windham, New Hampshire in the US! You are doing great work and have created one of the best communities on UA-cam!

I have been watching this project since the "first season" when you found her. I'll have to admit that I had some doubts about this project back then, but you got her road legal little by little. Waiting impatiently for future updates on the Pete and the KW. Smokey and the Bandit was actually the beginning for my big rig madness. Cheers!

When I put air horns on my Pete, I just hooked em up through the trailer brake (trolley valve) lever on the steering column. Yep aim them down so they rattle the pavement under ya! They didn't have no fancy chrome valve like that back in my time. Lol. You should have my address from the sticker email I gave ya.
Edit: drill a small hole at the end of the hood crack so it won't continue on.
Hello from northern sweden, city of Östersund!
From Creston, Iowa. My daughter and I never miss an episode. She’ll be two tomorrow, and she enjoys her trucks. We love all the videos. Can’t wait for more.
What a great place! I lived there for a bit after high school and worked at the co op
Good ol' Creston, IA ... used to deliver to the Phillips Flooring business there on the west end of town ... and sometimes grab some pizza at Caseys !! Love these videos also !!
not to far from you! love this channel
Small World. I'm from Creston as well :)
Ernok's Video repository and stuff that’s crazy. I figured I was the only one for miles that watched. Good to know I’m not the only one with good taste.
Being a driver myself for the past 45 years I love the passion you have for this old truck.
All the way from Twee Riviere, Eastern Cape province, South Africa. I did a harvesting season in US, I drove a 359 Pete on the farm and a Kenworth, loved those trucks ever since!
Started watching Twinsticks when I lived in the UK now live in Alberta , I managed to the green cab over in the flesh looked awesome on your video even better in the flesh , I drive a Peterbilt my self now on OTR
I was just wondering when the next episode was coming out. It’s always a nice surprise to get the alert of another episode. Thanks
Watching from Germany State: Nordrhein-Westfalen Town: Hemer👍
Hi There enjoying your channel can't wait for project Snowman to get going.
Keep it up
Dann from Johannesburg South Africa
So far I have seen 3 horn sets mounted on the deck plate behind the sleeper. Two pointed into the left lane.
Cheers
Carl Thor sure would be pretty loud if you’re giving the driver the horn signal
Melbourne, Australia love the tinkering keep at it!!
Here since the beginning! Watching from Misawa, Aomori-Japan
Hello, from Norway. Closest "city" for me, is Kongsvinger.
I liked his reaction after he blew the horn and got out the truck. He knows his wife will raise all types of hell for doing that after she said don’t do it but his laugh says it worth it lol.
I have a blue 85 standard hood 359 I run daily. Real similar story, except I can't invest quite as much into makin a show quality rig as I'd like too, it has to work for it's dinner. But really enjoy watching your progress from North Carolina USA.
I have been watching since day 1,not easy to do everything by yourself little by little 👍👍👍,I live in the U.S but my cousin watch from Santa Clara,Cuba
You need a genuine locomotive horn. Airchime K3LA or K5LA. Genuine are full cast and not Chinese stamped sheet metal.
Must be 11 jealous a Freightliner owners giving you a thumbs down 👎
I'm from Coal Township, Pennsylvania and I get the notices when you post. Nice horn, but If I was doing a TRAIN horn I'd be doing a Nathan AirChime K5LA ... The baddest train horn on the planet ... Really enjoyed the video. Can't wait for the Snowman truck ;o)
I've been subscribed for a long time but just for the purposes of your map I'm in the city of Lancaster in the state of California United States
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, BRASIL. First time I disagree with one modification. I would have mounted the horn on the top of the cabin or the back of the sleeper. To nice to be hidden underneath the truck.
Paulo G lovely city ... agree I originally wanted to mount it on a deck plate behind the sleeper but not sure if they’re allowed in Canada so figured I’d hide it JIC
Little by Little is looking and sounding sweet!!! Love the horns. Have a set on my 379 and absolutely love them. Can’t wait for the next update! Long Island NY
Good Day from Southwestern Ontario Canada
It worked unsubscribe and then re subscribe 👍
Well, they sounded pretty cool! I didn’t hear them here in Ohio, so I can only imagine that your camera just doesn’t handle good train horns! Hehehe! Good job. I know about the distractions, too. It happens all the time! I’m seeing more drivers install them behind the cab/sleeper, from a bracket/cross member that keeps them slightly above the frame. They do sound good like that. Keep enjoying the ride!
Tuning in from southern New Jersey, USA!
Watching from Saudi Arabia and I like your videos great work . Best wishes for you 🙏🏻 .
cool - what city?
From Jeddah
Think I’d have put the horns on the roof, too pretty and shiny to be hidden away. Great work, love the truck. Greetings from near London, UK.
Hi, watching from Plovdiv, Bulgaria ;) I bet you have no idea where this is, hahaha... Keep up the good work!

From Janesville,Wisconsin.love what you have done with the old Peterbilt. I have a 86 Kenworth that, I got from my uncle when he passed away. Working on it slowly.

hi there i am from California . You my good man are living the retirement i dreamed of, restoring old trucks. I used to be a Peterbilt mechanic for many years also worked for ford heavy truck dealers too. My dream truck is a 77 Mack Superliner with twin sticks of course and a Detroit 8v71 or 12v71. i used to have a 1959 Ford F600 with a 312 and twin sticks a 4 & 3 spd with O/D. I also had a 1971 M35A2 that I restored. I also had a 62 Pete narrow nose 2 axle with a 250 N/A Cummins. I am thoroughly enjoying your builds. GO Snowman!! Ohh for your map I am currently in Desert Hot Springs Ca USA.
Watching your movies whenever they pop up. I’m from Friesland... to be exact Makkum, the Netherlands
Great video once again my freind, you can place a pin on the map for me, I watch every video. Wrexham North Wales in the United Kingdom. 🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
Hi I subscribed yesterday and I am watching the 359 videos in sequence since I just reached ep 55 allow me to share my impression, yes you do inspire people with your work and videos they are awesome! As for your map tell your daughter that a fan from São Paulo, Brazil is a new subscriber, my name is Pablo I build 1/14 scale Tamiya trucks and to see you working that 1/1 driveshaft by yourself seriously made me think how easy is my hobby compared to yours... thank you so much for sharing, inspiring and allowing hope into people’s houses worldwide. Best Regards to you and your family I will go for ep 56 now =)
Kirkland WA. (Home of the first Costco). Have two toy trucks. ‘85 359 Pete day cab (Tonka Yellow) and ‘58 351 Pete (Rat Rod lowered). Both 3406B engines. Same train horn on 359 Pete but only used once. Afraid it might cause road rage with someone Brake checking me. Enjoy your two year adventure. I waited till the kids were out of the house before I became a wanna be trucker. My first truck was a 1986 359 day cab with 400 BC3. Lowered it and drove it to work every day for a few years and then buddy relieved me of it. Turned around and bought one ‘85 Pete tall rubber that was pretty much maintained all it life so I can take more time driving and less time tinkering on it. I can live vicariously through you now. I am 59 and almost a grandpa next month so I will have a little one in my sandbox soon to play with my yellow tonka truck.
Great job!! I restore old International Harvestore tractors and soon IH pickups, trucks and scouts. I do plan on fixing up a 1972 IH Transtar 4200 daycab with a dump box, twin screw, cummins, works good but everything worn out. The laminate floor is what I will go with. Randy, From North Dakota.
Watch every new video you put up .
Being a driver myself for the last 30+ years . You have given me the bug to restore one of my favourite old trucks .
I live in Horsham in Victoria , Australia . Have started searching for a 1978 Kenworth SAR to restore to its original glory .
Keep up the awsome job you are doing on your 3 trucks .
Dunno if it’s too late, but I’m watching from San Ignacio Town, Cayo Dist. Belize. Just recently came across your channel and I’m hooked. Both trucks be having me inspired to finish up my Mack R model and try to get myself a Kenworth or Peterbilt next..keep it up.

Hello there, watching from a little town called Suwâld. That's a little east of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. Love your channel and watched every episode. I'm a trucker to and your content got me interested in American trucks. Can't wait for project Snowman to begin. Keep up the good works! Greetings from Holland.
P.s. i would mount just the original airhorns on the roof. 😉
Thanks man! Have a Freightliner Century and my factory air horn started blowing on its own and never stopped. I pinched the line by where the horn is with a zipped tie. Somebody said the factory air valve where I pull to release air to horn is messed up. So I have to figure out how to delete that and go with what you have. Thanks for the info on being able to run the line with out electric solenoid. Any more advice would be appreciated. Again...THANKS!!!! 🙏🏽
Saying hi from western pennsylvania, about 1 hour north of pittsburgh. I also want to say that I just love this series, it's the most in-depth one i've seen yet, and i first came across it when there were 28 episodes, so I've been here a while. Also, I love model cars, and here on youtube there is a "group build" for semi truck kits going on at the moment, and the truck i'm building is a fixer-upper pete 359, inspired by you. So thanks for the entertainment, and keep on truckin'.
Greetings from Portugal, i live about 30 miles from Lisbon so that will probably be the best to point due to the size in the map.
