Horizontally mounted radio aerial, (under the central bonnet support rod), is a nice idea.

Sad I know, but I spent a lot of time comparing roof panels. Because of the steel shortages after the War, Pops were built with a vinyl insert in the centre of the roof. A lot of rodders replace this with a steel panel, but the trick is to find a donor vehicle with the same double curvature to match the original shape. I've heard of various car roofs & bonnets being used. My own is from the rear half of a 1960s Rover P6 saloon. I think this ribbed version's from a Vauxhall Corsa van. The flip front end's fibreglass.

Another take on the pick-up theme. There were about half a dozen in total at the show. This one is more my taste, with a separate pick-up bed built in the model A Ford style with square corner posts originally designed to hold vertical wooden stakes for wooden slatted sides to increase the load capacity, known as stake beds. The wooden sides were sometimes called Greedy Boards.
Morris Minor rear cab back? Looks like a Ford Pop rear window though.

Apparently one of only 3 of this particular 100e Ford Pop convertible conversion ever built. Semi automatic too cos the owner only has one leg. Nice.

Possibly Triumph Spitfire engined? The young guy who built this is only in his early 20s & this is his first rod. Beautifully detailed with steel flip front & reversed, "suicide" doors.

The "Old Iron" Fordson van, with Fordson tractor part gear knob. Love the green Perspex windows.
