Read MoreFor someone who’s new to rotaries, the first things that you would notice are the noise and the smell of the unburnt fuel and pre-mix oil. The way they rev and accelerate like a sports bike brings a smile to your face that you just can't fight.
Read MoreAfter driving the roadster for eleven years in its raw state and growing tired of people referring to it as a ‘rat rod’, Bill decided to take his build to the next level. He began the process of tearing down the roadster, refinishing every part and carefully reassembling it. Bill chose to do all of this just months before the 2013 Detroit Autorama where he intended to debut his newly refinished roadster.
Read MoreThe goal was to build a road car, but having spent time in a more focussed early 911 track car I definitely wanted it something a little more-hard edge as I am drawn to race cars – that’s what epitomises a sports car to me. This car was an opportunity to find that balance and create something completely in-period but just with those extra touches to make it my own…
Read MoreWith small bikes, it’s easy to incorrectly assume there’s very little work involved. This certainly is not the case. It’s just that you need to get up close to get an idea of exactly how much work has been done. With the Gibby build Agun spent countless hours fabricating a long list of one-off parts.
Read MoreThe Maserati build story began whilst I was working at Leiter Motor Company. The rolling chassis was already there, a new owner had taken on the project and with refining all of the close details I started to build it from the existing chassis and up…
Read MoreSean Connolly runs Bar None Moto from his workshop in Ballarat, Victoria. In this film, Sean talks about how Bar None started and walks us through his current build that he's putting together for the Machine Show in New South Wales.
Read MoreIt is so much fun and I love the sound of the quad cam and the blower screaming for help. The burnout scene is pretty serious these days, big money in the engines, big money at the winning end for the victor. It’s fun, all the friends I have in the scene are great people and are all happy as long as everyone is having a good time.
Read MoreIt was one of those experiences that’s hard to describe. The sounds, the movements, the cars. I tried to catch it all on film, but even that can’t get close to what it was actually like to be a part of the Tokyo Kaido Racer night-runners.
Read MoreJules Ferguson has just rebuilt his rotary-engined 1972 Mazda RX3 coupe... and boy, it sounds good!
Read MoreThis is actually one of my dream bikes. I love it because it’s cool and cute at the same time. I needed a little more power over the regular Cub, so the 125cc suits me perfectly. The bike was built by Dapper Garage. Those guys are my friends and they do great work. They make these bikes in a similar look for many customers, but this one is to my specifications…
Read MoreNate Browne spent years learning the craft of automotive metalwork. After honing his skills at various coachbuilders and classic car workshops around Melbourne, Nate set up his own business; Browne's Metalcraft.
Read MoreSean Hammond talks us through his Ford Model A hot rod project that he's building to look like a 1960s-style show and drag race car.
Read MoreBryce Michelmore builds and modifies scale kits of hot rods and custom cars from the '50s and '60s in his suburban Melbourne garage. We spent an afternoon with Bryce taking a (very) close look at his remarkable work…
Read MoreIt’s not unusual to read about a father/son team completing a build, but this one pretty much takes the cake. Gary Zahra’s father Charlie had started work on his latest project, a newly acquired ‘56 Chevrolet pickup, turning it into a reliable daily driver complete with airbags, an LS1 motor, modified chassis and 20 inch wheels.
Read MoreJapan, March 2017. It’s the first shoot of the trip and we get stuck right in with one of the coolest custom vans that you’ll ever see. The guys at Deez Crew in Yokohama are the go-to shop in Japan for custom van projects, so a visit was a high priority. We were spoiled for choice regarding which particular van to hone in on, but we settled for the juicy-fruit-fresh California Boogie.
Read MoreIn these strange and difficult times that we’re living through right now, I think the mantra ‘help each other’ is a strong one to live by. So, when my good pal Geoff from Return of the Cafe Racers just told me about his new riding gloves, I felt compelled to share them.
