Mark Martin's !986 Daytona 500 Ride
« on: October 11, 2018, 09:34:04 AM »
1986 Daytona 500 Lone Star Peterbilt sponsored Thunderbird driven by Mark Martin. Basically box stock, I closed up the rear of the front wheel openings for more of a speedway look, and added a piece of .040 evergreen under the front bumper to give it a flatter and lower look. Wetworks decals and Tamiya paint. The real car is a personal photo I took during his qualifying run for the 500. Thanks for looking

Mark was one of my favorite drivers. Sure do miss him, Rusty, the Allisons and a few others.  That is a very good looking build, mighty fine job.

 :)  One of my favorites too, but I do not remember this car.  I have been to the museum though, and really enjoyed it.
