Mopar Muscle Association UK

Stu sent me this flyer for a new meet for a local club (well, local to him!) the 'A602 Street & Strip Rods' that's being put on this Sunday 12th.

As the ad says,'Hot Rods, Classics, Yanks, Customs, Bikes, VDubs' so I think that means we're invited!

Venue details:
Fairlands Valley Show Ground is just a couple of miles east of Knebworth House/Park (A1/M, junc 7), along the A602, over 2 roundabouts, enter thru 1st gate entrance on the left, before a school / playing fields and opposite Stevenage footie ground.

Weather forecast is good so we'll check it out.... anyone else not going t'Pod fancy it?

Rob...
Weve got the MOT this sat if alls well we will join you guys on Sunday.
Will give you a call.
Rich.

Thanks Rich

It's on the left between Knebworth & the Herts meet pub, in case you hadnt worked it out from the above

Pretty good turn out for a 1st time show, and considering there was similar event a few miles down the road in Bishops Stortford (good organisation, eh! )

Good to see Paul Riley there with his Coronet, fresh out of Hausers after ironing out a few niggles (hope I didnt understate that too much Paul )

Jim Darrington was also there with his viper-blue 68 Charger.... scooping up the 'Best Yank' award.... another trophy to add to the one he picked up at he Nats. Forgot to get a pic Jim, sorry, but it's the one that was at Knebworth a couple of weeks earlier, if anyone doesnt know the car.

The mad blown rat(ish)-rod in the pics ('Lowdown'n'Dirty') turned up just before they announced the prize winners and got Best Rod. Looked radical but sounded a lot milder than it looked. Could do with a bit more cam, methinks
Looked like a s/b Ford to my untrained eye, so maybe they'll fit a proper engine under the blower by the time it's all finished

This pick up won Best of Show









































Paul checks his instruction manual to see which gauge does what

59 Ford Skyliner Retractable is gorgeous. 58 Olds is a sweet thing too although not sure of colours or colour scheme. 55 Chevy with radiused rear arches in maroon is coo, too. Like that little black rod n all but only cos the motor is almost totally black - which is different. Scrap the rest.

I like the White 2+2 Stang i also like the Chevy SS but not keen on the Yellow flames

The Coronet looks great in Gold

The armpit operated gearshift in the Lowdown n Dirty rod looks very odd.

Scrap the white 59 Caddy and the gold Coronet(apart from the wonky guages)????? we are on a different hymn sheet me old cock..!!!! they are the 2 best things on there,and if the owner of low down n dirty aint shafting the MOT tester then I dont know who is..Unless they are 1 & the same

I'll take the 55

Nice pics, thanks for posting.

Well spotted. Not the best piece of design from a functionallity perspective.

So you have to drive along with the boot open?

I thought Rogue Trooper had finished his rod on the quiet Very similar look.
