Issue 20 of Heavy Duty Hot Rods (aka Genuine Hot Rods) is on sale now and boasts four photo shoots and feature stories by Hosking Industries, including one on Paul Lonergran’s insane 1928 Dodge Rat Rod, pictured here. Paul’s beastie has been built on the cheap, using parts from around his shop and home collection and Paul claims he did it all for a measly $42!

The phantom ’28 Dodge is powered by a high-revving 327ci small-block Chevrolet V8 and the car features more patina than a rusty boat anchor with corrosion and rust at every turn. Rat rods don’t come much more genuinely ratty than Paul’s. Who’d have it any other way?!

As always, we’ve got a series of FREE desktop wallpaper images for you to enjoy and strobist fans will find our lighting information and EXIF data on each image’s caption, too. Simply CLICK HERE or on the thumbnails below to visit our Flickr page where all the goodies lay in wait for your visit.

Along with Dave Hart’s awesome 1933 Ford tourer that we showed you last week, we also shot his 1953 Chev’ lead sled for the same issue of Heavy Duty Hot Rods magazine (aka Modified Street Hot Rods), which goes on sale any day now. Dave also built this machine himself in the shed at home, including the weekend roof chop and long, lapping flame job.

The Chevrolet is used as Dave’s wife’s daily, proving once and for all that car like this shouldn’t be kept in the shed. Backing it up is a 2009 350ci small-block and T350 and as you can see from the pics, this beast is visually loud. Clearly it’s the way Dave likes things to be.

As always, we’ve got a selection of desktop wallpaper-sized images for you to view and download for your own computer. For the photogs, you’ll find our EXIF data on each image as well. Just CLICK HERE or on the thumbnails below to jump.

Not content to own one beautiful street rod, Al & Kerry Scott have at least two gorgeous pre-1950 Chevrolet rods parked on their premises, both lovingly built by Al himself, with another couple on the boil. Pictured here are Al’s two completed machines: a WRX blue 1938 model and a Hothouse green 1950 coupe, both powered by small-blocks. You can read all about both in the extensive feature story in issue 16 of Heavy Duty Hot Rods, which goes on sale this month.

Featuring nice details like shaved handles, slammed suspension (the ’50 uses bags) and neat interiors, they’re a classy pair that prove you don’t need a blue oval on your rod to be cool. As always, we’ve got a selection of FREE desktop wallpaper images for your enjoyment and photographers can check out the details of our lighting setups on our Flickr page, as well as EXIF data.

We attend a lot of car shows. Most of the time we’re there to cover the event for one of Australia’s many excellent performance car magazines. Over the weekend we got out to two events, including the Lady Luck festival in Katoomba and Pinky’s Carpark Showdown Round 1 in Mount Pritchard, NSW Australia.

On this occasion we were out looking for potential feature cars and as a result, the coverage we captured on the day won’t see the light of day in print. That’s unfortunate for us and good news for you, because it means you get to see the photos straight away!

Click on the thumbnails or THIS LINK to see a photo gallery of almost 100 images from the show!

OK, so this week’s textures aren’t exactly ‘textures’. They’re more like stock photos; but we figured all you design freaks out there could make just as good use of these as anything else we’ve given you to date! So here they are: six high-resolution automotive hood ornaments.

They’re from all kinds of classic vehicles: from early 1920s Chevrolet sedans and an early Holden to a 1930s Willys, 1930s Ford and a mid-1950s Ford as well. We can’t guarantee they all started on the vehicles they were photographed on, so for trainspotters, you may pick up some historical inaccuracies. However, for everyone else, we reckon these will prove to be a pretty interesting history lesson.

As usual, all our texture images are FREE for personal and commercial use, however resale, repackaging and redistribution are all prohibited. So don’t go using them on CD or DVD collections, web compilations or pass these originals off as your own.
