It's a Ford Pop Jim, but not as we know it...
Front
wings, grille shell, bonnet, bulkhead, doors, and 3 inches of B pillar, these
are all Ford Popular items, the rear of the cab is made up of two bits of a
100e roof and part of a Triumph Herald bonnet.
The pickup
bed is scratch built apart from the tailgate, which is a 60/70s Ford tailgate
that has had three feet taken out of it's width.
Seats are
handmade aluminium bomber style seats, the headers are homemade, the rear wings
are unknown fronts with a hell of a lot of work to make them rears.
The roof is
homemade and is going to be padded and covered in a Carson style.
The dash is
also an 'unknown' item, but has been cut and welded into what it is now, with a
Moggie Minor speedo and the dash trim the numberplate light/boot handle off of
Perverse (49 Plymouth).
Engine is a
3 litre V6 Ford, with a C3 auto gearbox, braking system is a smart car
pedal/master cylinder/servo underfloor assembly with S/S braided hoses
throughout to Herald discs/calipers and Escort drums. Wheels are
Herald front and Minx rears.
Wiring is a
'hot rod' kit, stripped back to what’s needed.
It will
eventually be painted blue, and the roof will be black vinyl.
