    [quote=Job~Rated;53463]You're welcome. I took that along with a couple more at a Kings Lynn Kruisers bash - would've been around 1980...


    Well done that man!!! you are my new hero! Fantastics pics of my Pop Stef!! That shot or the rear gets me thinkin whether I should put the the chrome bumper back on??? Its as tatty as hell at the moment so needs a re-chrome but it did look sweet on there then. But on the flip side I do like the bumperless look too. (sigh!!) What a dialemma! lol. Anybody got any more stuff on Street Odyssey that they'd like to share with me, albeit words or pics. I crave information.............................

    Here are a couple of pics of my old sit up 'n' beg, I regretted selling the car and still miss it. I reckon at one time or another everybody should own a rodded Pop, there's just something about them.




    If the new owner is getting half the fun from it that I did then he's having a great time! Would like to know where it is now... Micky T.

    Now, I know i'm a relative newbie in the rodded pop scene but I never realised just how many awesome lookin pops have been around. Yes, I flicked thru countless back issues of old custom mags but that just gives a small sampling of what was, and still is, really out there. One of the best threads that I've been on so far..... Thanks everyone!

    The original Liquidator team:
    Mike Cornelius, Roger Horn & Geoff Barrett



    If you look at the pics of "Good Vibrations", then check the rebodied "Liquidator", you will see where he got the base car from!!!

    Here's a car with a history......
    I had the great pleasure of meeting Bob Gleadow last year, when he came into my Pub, by sheer coincidence, as he was looking at a house nearby. He saw my Pop pictures on the wall and we got talking......





    Back in the early 70's, Bob & his brother, Mick got hooked on drag racing, and decided to build a Pop!
    This text is from their great website:
    "Way way back in the mists of time, Bob and his brother Mick were working in a catering van for their Father. They happened to turn up at a drag race with it, and became hooked. Their first car was built at their Dad's bakery in Hitchin, Herts. A Ford Pop was the choice of car, and in it's first incarnation it was known as 'The Mangler', painted green with orange lexan windows. This went on to fame and notoriety as Motor Psycho, first in purple then for 1973, in blue."



    "The car ran for a while before a rather impressive wheelstand which, on returning to horizontal, caused the motor to expire rather nastily. Bob and Mick were disheartened by this, and the car went up for sale."



    "A young man by the name of Al O'Conner purchased it in 1975, and soon everyone knew the name 'Al's Gasser'. It can still be seen terrorising the strip today, albeit in name only as the original car was totalled in a rather severe crash some time ago."



    The name "Motor Pyscho" lives on, but it is now gracing the body of a 34 coupe.

    Check out the Time Machine racing's excellent website:
