Billy Foster 1965 USAC Dodge Completed

[slim]

When the Polar Lights Snap 65 Dodge Kits first came out I built two of them, cut out the back seat, built a cage and just snapped it together. The first, this one, I didn't even paint just made some nice Nichels decals and put them on. Over time the white got dirty and the decals bled from washing. I did not clear coat them. So a do-over was required! Dis assembled, Added bars to the cage, a fuel cell, replaced the snap kit wedge with a hemi, and got some cool USAC Billy Foster decals from Plastic Performance. The #20 Joe Leonard car will be built from a Johan 64 Dodge, as the real car was.

Great looking build Slim.  I don't think I've ever heard of these snap kits.  I've seen your builds of the SE Wisconsin modifieds especially the Etchie Beretzer car #5.  By the way do you remember Billy Johnson he ran the #1 car circa 65-66 or so.  He was one of the best I saw at Capital speedway.
