1985 Peterbilt 359 “Identity crisis”

[Pete68]

Heres a Revell snap Pete I've been working on I’m calling this one “Identity  crisis”  because I have added some old-school parts  to it also the paint looks different in certain lighting.The parts are a early model right side small tank with step and a left side larger tank and a small bumper this is what I have so far

 Got a little more done tonight worked on the interior got it painted still more detail work to on the dash, think I’m going with a single stack and I also clearcoated the battery box to calm the chrome down

Think the amt rims look better anyway.

Looks great! I like these wheels better, I've never liked the kit wheels in this kit.

How do you like the Mopar lacquer paint? I've been wanting to try some myself. From what I can see it looks good!

Clay  thanks it’s been a fun build  I like these wheels also

Brain  thanks the tires were awfull in this one. The paint is very nice it’s my 3rd can (different colors)  of it. I’m sure you will like the power plant I’m going to put in it say tuned.
