Australian Hot Rodder #12 has landed and is now available to order.

As with previous issues of AHR Issue #12 is brim-full of great features on some of the best Australian hot rods, new and old, along with interesting and entertaining stories on the people who built them. Also featured are stories on drag racing, and for the first time in AHR, on speedway racing.

Features included in AHR #12 are:

• Ben Mulholland’s Rocket-powered Model A roadster.

  Stripped-back and souped-up Ben Mulholland’s beautifully crafted Model A roadster oozes hot rodding authenticity. With its perfect open wheel stance, laid back windscreen, and period six-carb Oldsmobile Rocket motor you are instantly transported back to the golden days of hot rodding.

  

• Gary Smith’s Thriller Bees.

  The B Model Ford was the preferred ride for the top dogs of hot rod racing at Tracey’s iconic speedway in the late ’50s. Gary Smith’s Bees are rare survivors from the period.

• Paul Catling’s sweet hauler.

  When Paul Catling found the ’34 Ford closed-cab pickup he’d impulsively bought on eBay late one night wasn’t what he expected he set about transforming it into one of the sweetest haulers you’ll ever see.

• Bill Willis – hot rod racin’ ace.

  Bill Willis was one of the hot shots that dominated racing at Melbourne’s iconic Tracey’s Speedway in the 1950s and ’60s. After starting in a stripped-down ’40 Ford Sloper Bill went on to win a heap of trophies, highlighted by the inaugural Australian Hot Rod Sportsman title in 1963.

• Tony Thomas’s sleek Model A racer-styled roadster.

  Tony Thomas took his long term love affair with Henry’s Lady to a whole new level when he set about building his four-cylinder Model A roadster. Tony’s meticulously crafted roadster blends traditional hot style with hints of the great Grand Prix cars of the 1930s.

  

• Strip Tsar – Max De Jersey.

  With unbridled self confidence and a vision for the future of drag racing Max De Jersey was a key albeit controversial figure in the early days of drag racing in Australia.

• A True Believer.

  Hot rodding has been central to Chris Weir’s life since the 1960s. In the 60 years he’s been involved in the sport he’s not only built a number of cool rods, he’s also raced them on the strip and the salt, founded a rod club, and took tin hunting to a whole new level in the 1970s.
