This is a Peterblilt Black Magic 359 kit, lengthened 3.5", had to add an extra wheel well for the hauler portion to fit the dual axles, added an alunimum bumper, and closed in the front fender openings slightly to resemble a "Jones" hood. 64 Plymouth modified to look like the car Marty drove at the Fairgrounds Speedway in the late 60's......I love the ole school way of going to the track!
Thanks for looking

Man Mark...you knocked these builds right outta da Park! Very clean and great looking builds. I've got a set of decals for that very car. Haven't got to it yet. Seeing your build makes me want to stop what I've got going and jump right in there. Great stuff Mark...

That's a fantastic replica build. Very clean and very well done.

If this combinations was placed in an area, with the proper background, you'd swear it was the real thing.
