    ford pop

    hope you like pops.

    been commissioned to build two.both in different styles.

    this is the first.hoping to dry build a half decent car in 30 working days,then it will be off for bodywork/paint and finishing.

    i always start with the wheels and tires.sizes and tires are chosen,for what the owner wants to do with his car.this pop is not for drag racing

    wheels

    I know you think you believe you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what I said isn't always what I meant.

    thanks
    if theres little interest in a build thread,i dont see any point in continually posting pictures.i can quite happily just look at them myself on my pc,so i just stop posting.

    sometimes i get more interest from randon strangers walking past,when projects leave here on transporters,than from people who supposedly are into rods and customs.

    i dont really follow up on projects once they go from here,as its full on into the next one.
    the trike went from here to get forks made,and i got a video of it all running a few days back.

    pop i recently did,i have no idea whats happened.it needed about a week to finish the last bits.

    f100 i did befor chrimbo,the owner drove home.and as far as i know is driven regular.

    couple from the end of last year,though im sure ive built other stuff since.i do forget

    Thanks.every build I do is different.

    I have no one size fits all way of building.even my front ends I sell are all different to each other.

    generally have no plans,and just make this **** up as I walk into the garage each morning.

    The only criteria for this pop is it's got to have somewhere for a dog,so he kinda gets what I want on the rest of it.
