Tonight features a Ford Pop hot rod

[SmokeEm]

I have been following rods since a small boy... Did mike brewers dad REALLY own Pinball Wizard? LCA21? I very much doubt it?

Never really been into Hot Rods myself but it did look very much as if they upped the standard of that Pop significantly

[johnnyspencer]

i love pop rods, great show would of been better if they chopped it!

Looks like they did a decent job for once regarding the work they did. Thought looks wise the car actually was much nicer before they started. LED lights in a car like that are so wrong IMO as well

 

Gotta love a sit up and beg pop though, same classic ford can't feature more cars along those lines if they are having to make the show bigger and magazine appeal to larger audience instead of all the plastic crap

I used to love my sit up and beg

[stuartp]

i'd love one at some point myself

Good engineering in the Pop but for me the wheels were to big and made it look like a hot wheels toy car, old Pops look so much much better on 15" rims and big Mickey Thompson rubber but my be i am just to old skool now

Glad someone thought the same as me - it just looked wrong. What were they 17's, 18's maybe 20's on the back with low profiles that just disappeared!

Was funny on the 'test drive' with the wheels flopping all over the shop - character building is the phrase I think!

It was a little different but the LEDs & the wheels just didn't go. The colour I thought was weird but just right. as for Mike's dad owning Pinball Wizard, wasn't it in StreetMachine years ago? Someone could enlighten us? I'm sure that even they couldn't BS the hot rod/OSF/gasser guys on TV. As for Tims Gasser Cave, it's local to me so I'm going to have to find it sometime.

Just watching this episode on Quest, it seems we talked about it 7 years ago when first aired!

Wow, time flies.
