Pops are very common at the shows we attend & are the classic Brit rod as far as I'm concerned. Everyone seems to start out with a Pop as their first build. It was a veritable Pop festival at Shakey with everything from near-standard daily drivers to pick-ups to gassers.

Some oddities too. This tub was running vintage steel truck wheels & a Rolls Royce motor.

Crazy VW safari bus based creation had a very 60s vibe about it. Didn't see it run but would love to see it on the strip.

New Zealander owned '69 Dodge Charger like Taz's, swapping the race slicks for street tyres & re-fitting the silencers before heading home.

Classic 70s fad T bucket has V8 Rover engine, same as my Pop. A perfect example of the style, right down to the "T" rear window.

Not a Pop this time. Not sure what it is actually, but it was wearing a Singer radiator grille.

My favourites are always the traditional rods. Plenty in attendance & I was pleased to see our build quality's as good as, or better, than everyone else's. Next year we'll be there in ours!

Another of those iconic cars from my youth. I remember drooling over Henry Hirise at the big indoor custom shows of the late 70s.
Built in the same workshops as Roarin' Rat. The only car ever to feature on the covers of both Custom Car & Street Machine magazines. Now running an all new tube chassis but otherwise just as I remember it. Great to see him back from the dead & on the tarmac where he belongs. Old Fords never die, they just get faster.  Smiley

Plenty more pics but I can't post the gallery until we've sorted out the main website.
If you've never been drag racing, I'd thoroughly recommend the Hotrod Drags or the Nostalgia Nationals at Shakespeare County Raceway.
Last pic goes to our very own team Black Pig.  Smiley

   A good time was had by all, overly good by some  Roll Eyes, took the car and a box of bits , put it all together during Friday, too nice a day to do anything Saturday, that and the queue went past our pit and back round behind us, had a little go Sunday, trouble holding it on the line and a fair launch showed the cam timing was closer to optimal, small oversight in the fueling department saw a slowing pass and a pin hole in the newly altered sump that only showed itself when hot decided us in favour of sitting out the rest of it. We have some plans for the Winter, but I've had experience of plans before, we'll see how it goes.
    Nice shot of the truck, it's now for sale, cheaper than you might think , fresh MOT and service, get in touch if you want details.
