Cover Car: Simon Kryger’s WB Holden

Simon Kryger’s WB Tonner was a first for Street Machine. The magazine has never run a car quite like it on the front cover before and may never do so again.

Powered by a nitrous-sniffing 632ci big-block and underpinned by a number of drag-oriented chassis and suspension upgrades, this machine looks like it just got done with 40 years of tradie work… and in many ways it has.

Get up close and you’ll see most of the patina on this thing is legit. Original paint, original steel tray. Look closer though and you see the tray floor is now a digital print of a photo of the original tray. The brown vinyl trim actually hides a pair of Kirkey race seats and matching brown painted roll cage. The reverse-cowl scoop is covered in a beautifully executed vinyl wrap featuring matching rust spots and well-matched pale yellow.

The shoot was featured on the cover of the October 2024 issue of Street Machine.
