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?!

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 🤔

Appears as though the Pro's at "Fitzgerald" had to Start out redoing the Body Work right from the Get Go,that's just what we felt would happen.

Good to see they’re fixing Tim’s shoddy body work. Painting is all about good body work and proper preparation.

You knocked it out of the park. That was more than just a spray. Solid work going the extra mile in prep to make a show paint job. Top notch facility and it shows.

Super nice job guys. And good on Tim realizing his current time and talent assets aren't able to put out this kind of work. Pride is a mf'r sometimes.

When it’s finished Tim will stand there taking the credit make sure it’s known who made it happen
