Historic Muscle: Ian Ross’ 427 Shelby Cobra

August 10, 2016

I always look forward to the FUEL Coffee and Classics gatherings held in Port Melbourne. I most enjoy seeing the unexpected and unusual collection of vehicles that turn up. In the past, everything from ex-military vehicles, LA inspired low riders, to concours level restored classics have made an appearance. Just when you think every corner of motoring culture has been represented, something different appears and reminds us why we bothered to wake up early on a Saturday morning.

Grind Daddy Grind: Skater Stephen Dariz's Custom 1978 Harley-Davidson Ironhead

August 1, 2016

I had seen an A4 image of Stephen Dariz’s custom Harley in the Fuel office. I had also been told that he was an avid skater which peaked my interest. Two weeks later, I was flying to Adelaide for an interview and photo shoot with the builder and skater. After landing, Luke and I rented a nondescript grey econo box and drove to Stephen’s nearby home.

Fade To Orange: Bob Pankhurst’s Custom 1965 Buick Riviera

July 29, 2016

Bob Pankhurst first encountered the custom scene at a home for delinquent boys in the late ‘60s. Not that he was a resident, the home was the venue for a hot rod show and Bob’s brother-in-law had taken him along. “He was driving an early model Cortina at the time, which he’d hotted up, and that impressed me,” remembers Bob. “He even made his own mag wheels for it, which fell apart! He had to put them on the car to see if they actually worked or not, and they just fell to pieces!”

Street & Strip: Steve Borg's 1930 Model A Ford Drag Racing Hot Rod

July 19, 2016

I grew up in the ‘70s when there were lots of cool factory cars getting around. I remember my dad asking me what car I wanted when I grew up as we were parked at a servo. I said that one with the black thing on the bonnet. I was pointing at a XY GT that was rumbling up the driveway. I guess it was the way it sounded. That V8 noise had me hooked.

Squarebird: Vinny Tang's 1959 Custom Ford Thunderbird

July 8, 2016

When I was a teenager growing up I was totally obsessed with anything that had to do with wheels. Skateboards, pushies, bikes and of course cars, cars and more cars, usually of the hot rod variety. Being an Asian kid growing up in the Fast and Furious era I couldn’t help but feel a bit different when all the kids was talking about Nissan Silvias and Hondas in class, but when I was at home by myself I was reading hot rod rags and trawling through the Jalopy Journal and its infamous forums.
