My collection of street rods currentls stands at one: the '32 Highboy roadster I made earlier this year. I want to add two more common types from the UK rodding scene in the 70's. These will be a T bucket and a sit-up-and-beg Ford 'pop'. These will only be approximations, british T s almost always sported a narrowed Jaguar IRS at the rear and Ford pops would usually have Rover V8s under a fibreglass flip front. American kits don't offer either of these so I'll settle for US style T and a modified Anglia gasser. Gassers were not really a thing in the UK so I will try and modify this kit to get a more british street rod stance. I may well mix and match some parts between the kits as I don't have a spares box for this type of kit.

The steering wheel was taken from the custom option of the Model T I built together with this 'Pop'.
