Finished this one last year. Body--I think--was by Union Vac. Had the body for over 20 years and wanted to build it but never did because I had no grill and the surrounding trim for it. Finally bit the bullet and tried to fashion my own. Luckily the decals were still good after all that time. I'm not happy with the roll bar, it is not high enough.

I'm glad to see more builds and WIP's from you. As a big Jim Bryan fan, I would love to get that Kuzma body. Craig

A great build! Thanks for sharing this. I did not buy any their bodies at the time and kick myself for it. Let that be a lesson for the great kits being produced today. Your model is a marker of Foyt's early career. Good on you!
Jim
