In the October issue of Custom Car, we’re deep in the art of the impossible – where forgotten metal gets reborn, legends are reimagined, and the road ahead is always wide open.

Andy Saunders takes on one of George Barris’ wildest visions with his recreation of the Dodge Daroo, a ’60s concept brought back to life with jaw-dropping detail and show-stopping style.

Simon Fox works his welding magic on a rough-and-ready ’38 Ford coupe, transforming it from marketplace wreck into a flowing, chopped beauty that finally realises the lines it always deserved.

Out on the asphalt, the NSRA Fun Run returns in force, with Cornish coast cruises, a mega-mileage adventure, and a Sunday show-and-shine that reminded everyone why it’s the heart of the UK hot rod calendar.

Add in the stars of the National Hot Rod Show, dragstrip duels at the Sportsman Nationals, the off-beat gathering of Cars & Bars, and a first-time feature ride that’s been four decades in the making, and you’ve got an October issue bursting with the people, the passion, and the pulse of the scene.
