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.

Thank you Steven. Yes, I am still seeing a few on ebay, some are under $40.00.
Well done Slim. I remember this car from Fair Park!!!

Yep....another great looking build Slim! I really like the decal work my friend...
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.

8) Well done! Looks good!
