Feature Car: Garry Rosser's Holden Tonner

6/71-Blown 383ci Holden V8

In a world where most classic Holdens seemd to be powered by the now ubiquitous LSx family of alloy V8s, Garry Rosser’s delectable WB-fronted Holden tonner runs a beuatifully-detailed and supercharged 383ci Holden. 

I travelled out to the Central West of NSW for a couple of days to photograph a few cars for Street Machine magazine and captured Garry’s newly-finished tonner at the same time. We scored some lovely weather and the warm afternoon light brought out the best in the candy red metallic paint.

The shoot appeared in the June 2024 issue of Street Machine.

Feature Car: Anthony Saf's VK Commodore

Blown LS-Powered and Blingin'

I last ran into Anthony Saf some eight years ago when I photographed one of his earlier builds (also a VK) for the front cover of Street Commodores magazine. Both cars have distinct personalities, however both are powered by supercharged LSx-variants.

Whereas the last car was a comparatively subdued-looking gunmetal HDT-clad beast with an LSA-style forced induction setup, this latest build takes a custom Brock path – although it’s well-enough removed from being a Blue Meanie clone to keep things interesting.

perhaps the biggest element with this car is the use of gold plating and lowrider-style engraving, as you can see in the photos.

My shoot appeared in the May issue of Street Machine.

Feature Car: Image Conversions' 1949 Chevrolet

LSA-Powered Classic Truck

I’ve now had the pleasure of photographing four or five of the incredible vehicles that have rolled out of the Image workshop in western Sydney. This 1949 Chevrolet truck only highlights the ever-evolving and improving skill and vision that the crew are delivering.

Powered by an LSA V8 and playing host to just about every electrical convenience you could hope for, this classic truck sits at the peak of Australian custom car building.

My photoshoot appeared in the May 2024 issue of Street Machine.

Feature Car: Jason Mackenzie's 1967 Camaro

8/71-Blown 489ci Big-Block Camaro

Off the road for 19 long years after a catastrophic engine failure on the burnout pad at Kandos, Jason Mackenzie’s brilliant candy green 1967 Chevrolet Camaro makes a stunning return to the scene – bigger and better than ever.

My photo shoot on the car appeared in the April 2024 issue of Street Machine magazine. The attention to detail throughout the entire car made the shoot a great experience and I reckon it came out looking fine in print.

Powered by a astoking 8/71-blown 489ci big-block, it’s a monster machine that sacrifices nothing in the way of aesthetics for horsepower.

Feature Car: Eddie's 2000hp HQ Monaro

Twin-Turbo Big-Block HQ Monaro

Sometimes things are just meant to be. Originally commissioned to photograph Eddie and Younan’s Barra-powered Falcon for the May issue of Street Machine, Eddie casually dropped into conversation the existence of “my other car”.

What exactly WAS that other car? Oh, just a twin-turbo big-block-powered HQ Monaro making over 1700hp and capable of some 2000! 

A quick chat with the team at SM and all of a sudden I had a two-car shoot on my hands – and the result turned out very nicely.

Cover Car - Eddie and Younan's Ford XE Fairmont

1300hp Barra XE Ghia

It’s a very good day to be a car photographer when you get to shoot not one, but two gorgeous and extremely potent street cars in one go. The main cover star in the April 2024 issue of Street Machine was Eddie and Younan’s 1300hp Barra-powered XE Fairmont Ghia.

This car is a bold, modern and vibrant statement on wheels. It’s taken chances on colour choice as well as breaking from the mold with the engine choice. Somehow, it all works really well and the shoot looked great in the front of the magazine.

Check out the gallery for more.

Feature Car: Al's Custom Morris Minor

217hp 1330cc Supercharged Morris

Al’s Custom Morris Minor may appear like any beautifully-restored Morris you’ve seen before, perhaps save for the Continental kit on the back. However, it’s actually packing a massive amount of custom work that’s purposely been created to fool all but the most diehard British car fans.

I shot the car for the new issue of Street Machine magazine, which is one sale this week! This little blown 4-banger is amazine. Be sure to pick up a copy and read all about it.

Stay tuned for some more images from the shoot soon.
