Do you remember way back when a particular picture caught your eye and made you think "one day i,ll have one of those". As a kid i had them all on my bedroom wall, roaring rat, speed freak, small fry etc but when i was older i saw this picture in street machine and its gone everywhere with me since, half way round the world when i was in the navy too. Excuse the quality, its a bit ragged now ! Anyone got a better copy of it ?
Now lets see some of yours..........
kinda like this shot

And had the pics from the feature on Cliff Pulde's (sp?) drag Pop on the wall in my garage while building mine back in the '80s. Mine didn't look anything that one, but it was a drag-influenced Pop.

I just made a messand this copy of CC with this A pick up
I was 13 when I saw this mag in my local news agents the car on the front just blew me away. I didn't know what a hot rod was then but became an avid reader of cc after that and any other rod mag I could find. I still think this is the best T ever built in the UK.
