A battle of the builds finds itself the focus of this month’s issue as May heralds a new addition to the Custom Car forecourt and page after page of rodding and modding inspiration.

We join the rest of the world in mourning a customising legend, meet a doggone Chevy truck that’s turned out to be just what it’s furry namesake would have wanted it to be and come together at the North Weald Airfield for another NSRA Southern swap meet.

Colin Ayres’ ‘project X’ has made enough progress to warrant an update, the news of funny car racing at Santa Pod this season gets very positive indeed and everyone goes cold turkey in Cromer for a replacement meet to the now defunct Brass Monkey run.

The events list between now and September has never been longer, so we make sure you have every date for your summer diary, bring you the latest news and reviews along with the best subscription deals and supplier contacts for your customisation needs.
