Pawn shop special. I think a previous owner wanted to refinish her and gave it up when something shiny swung by. Sounds great and plays well though, so I don't care.

I may undertake it at some point, but I'm too busy using the Patriot now to dig into her. I could see the Foundation getting a pretty new face before implementing into the arsenal, though. We'll see. Pretty ideas can turn ugly when they are confronted with lack of skill and patience. I have a fretless conversion project that can attest to that

That Foundy could look really good. I refinished a Fury and ended up covering up a lot of hard work with the pickguard. Hope you really consider it. Can do just about anything if you put your mind to it.
The fun is in the challenge, not necessarily the doing.
Ok, so I bought a loaded foundation body from one ebay seller, and a complete neck from another ebay seller. Unfortunately both of them sold the neckplates and screws with the other parts of their basses. Anybody got one laying around that they'd be willing to let go?
Gratuitous repost. I am thinking these are all the colors but there might be a purple out there. Though I have never seen one.
THIS THREAD IS AWESOME! 
I just got a nice bass (my current favorite bass, actually) in the mail a day or two ago so I will join up once I have pics.

Sorry I'm late with the pics. It's an old-school Fury, although I'm not sure of the exact year. It's nothing die-hard Peavey fans haven't seen already, of course, but I happen to love it a lot. 
I'm new to the world of Peavey and I'm kind of surprised by how much MORE I like it than a Standard P.

Thanks for trying, I bought an aftermarket plate with plastic surround plateoff ebay, I think I'll just drill out a hole for the tilt adjuster.
Neck plate...let me check.. I buy most of them that are under $20 on ebay.
I may have a triple laminate...
OR I can make you a template.

I think your talking about a truss rod cover, I am talking about the metal plate to bolt down the neck.
I've seen plenty of neckplates all over ebay (especially "pay ridiculous amount of money for some dumb design on it noone will ever see!" specials), but never any like on my Peavey.
I have no ties to this sale, but these are sometimes hard to find for those who are restoring a dyna/foundation/patriot so I figured I should link it here in case someone is looking for one. Unclear whether it is for one or two pups though...

Yeah, the seller claims they would work for a fury, but I'm pretty sure the T-20 and Fury (when it had the SF and not the P pickup) had a super ferrite that was longer with double magnets on the bottom, not the potted ones. The pictures listed in that auction look very close to the one I have in my Patriot, and if it is a pair of pickups (he says it plural all over the auction but none of the pictures show them together if they are a pair) they would be from a foundation or dyna I would think.
I asked the seller - How many & from what model ?
Answer; one pickup....from an old foundation bass...i had 2 sold one
