Spaced Out

What can you say about Spaced Out? Taking a truck in that condition and painting into a spaceship was pretty kewl!! I made up most of the detail on the fly, which is what I love to do!!! The theme just evolved into what you're gonna see on TV, which turned out awesome!!!

Painting Mad Max's truck was just insane. The fusion of a school bus and fire rescue vehicle was crazy enough....trying to paint it as one, seamless truck was a whole other battle!! The lines of the 2 didn't really match up, so I had to improvise!!! Once I got past that...the paint just flowed!!!

The coolest part of the paint job is a mural of a space scene on the inside of the doors in the back, which you won't see until the end of the show, but that brought the whole theme together for the inside!! The whole mural was done in 2 hrs, on the fly and it came out awesome!!!

The whole paint job and in the amount of time I painted in.....7 days, plus 2 extra hours for the doors!! LOL!

Mad Max seemed to really like his truck and it fit his personality well........Spaced Out!!! LOL! The build on this truck should help his business out and make him more efficient when he's out there helping truckers.....I just made him look kewl!!!LOL

Truck drivers are something else!! I was never involved in the trucking industry until I got involved with this show, so I had no idea what they go through. Being able to help out these drivers and shed a better light on the trucking world makes me proud to be a part this show!!

Thank you everyone for all of the support while I have the chance....without you, there'd be no TMT on CMT!!!
