In the August issue of Custom Car, we’re lighting up the strip, the streets, and the showgrounds with raw power, deep passion, and a fair share of fuel-fed madness.
We kick things off with Loz Butcher’s incredible slingshot dragster – a blown, candy-coated tribute to dedication, community, and pure Yorkshire grit. It’s called Mean Streak, but the story behind it is all heart.
Graham Slater’s Mk7 Jag headlines our Magnificent Seven – a roundup of cars so good they’ll make you question reality. Spoiler alert: they're very, very real.
From the smoke and speed of Doorslammers and the Velocity Vintage Drags to the community vibes of the Kickback Show, this issue captures the pulse of the UK’s custom and drag scene in full flow.
We also check in on Crusty’s lockdown project, meet the team behind one standout slingshot, and see what went down at the More Money Nationals. And yes, we’ve packed in all your essential event listings, parts reviews, tech updates, and more from the garage floors and race pits of rodding life.
