I’ve had a day to sit back and reflect on all of this and to be honest, it doesn’t feel any better. The plan was to photograph Todd Mckay and his car, alongside all of his mates, one more time. Sadly, we missed it, and I am gutted. Each time we came up with a […]
They say that good things come to those who wait. Well, Brad Fletcher had to wait a while to get his coupe, but it really wasn’t that good to start with: “It took me longer to find the car than it did to build it, XA coupes are just hard to come by. Every year […]
Denise McKenna is a strong and courageous woman, but if you asked her, the strongest and bravest person she knew was her husband, Peter. The two met in 2007 and were then married in 2010. Sadly, a year later, Peter was diagnosed with Mesothelioma – a rare, aggressive form of cancer that primarily develops in […]
It’s amazing how one simple action can spawn a series of events that can almost spiral out of control. For Shane Smart, he never thought that a casual visit to S&E Automotives would result in a 3-year build on his LX SS Torana and turn it into the Motorvation Top Ten winner it is today. […]

Chad, the bloke behind Silver Aces Custom Metal Fabrication designed and built almost every skerrick of this […]
If this machine doesn’t stop you dead in your tracks, you just aren’t a car guy. From front to back, Adrian Blaskovic’s bad ass 1965 Dodge Coronet is all business. It only took Adrian a matter of minutes to dump his own VH Charger project of 14 years, to buy this rig after seeing it […]
WHAT does it take to get a car built in less than five months? A bunch of good mates sure helps, and so does a deadline that you absolutely, positively can’t miss. For Perth’s Vic Brockman, this HT wagon was meant to be a project that he could tinker on when he was a bit […]
My timing must have been perfect the fateful morning when I saw Mark’s Escort again. I had just written a list of cars that I wanted to photograph for some magazines and buried in there was the ‘silver Mk I Escort.’ I reckon it was around 2 years ago or so that I saw the […]
Jordan Roche has his own unique style when it comes to transforming cars. A Holden man through and through, he buys standard, modern cars and works his magic over them to give them maximum impact. His latest creation, this 2006 HSV Maloo R8 is the pinnacle of his art. “I have loved building cars over […]
