out now: fuel magazine #10

Issue ten of the australian FUEL magazine is on sale now after the launch party this past weekend. FUEL is one of my favorite magazines mainly due to its eclectic mix of content and an incredibly high quality in every sense and aspect. So, being part of its tenth issue is a great honor to me and to be honest I'm proud as hell seeing my photography in the magazine. At least as happy as I am is my buddy Raphael whose infamous three window model A coupe got an 8 page feature. You can order your issue here or, even better, subscribe here. Tell Luke I sent you. Swiss residents can get their copy at Custom Parts & Wear.

This is the cover of issue ten. On the right is the limited edition Estevan Oriol cover copy.

Raphael's fantastic hot rod, shot in a back alley of Lucerne. Read the whole build story in issue ten of FUEL magazine.

Sprint car action on a lazy saturday afternoon: ACES CC member Marcel having some fun on a field in Belgium. Check out the amazing lettering by finnish artist Pekka "Wizzzard" Mannermaa.

the burger cruise

The setting sun does great things to the natural light. That's why it is my favorite time of the day to shoot. Here are a couple more photos from the cruise night during the Custom Parts and Wear Open House.

Breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown
I'm gonna break ain't no you can do
Cause it's a breakdown, a motherfuckin' breakdown
I'm gonna break you in fuckin' two

FYI: Both of the cars are up and running again after discovering some minor ignition hickups. Thank you chinese repop junk.

open house: custom parts & wear

Having fun is simple. If you're as simple as we are. Take a couple of traditional hot rods, throw in a lot of great people. And stir it up with cold beers and hot burgers. Add a little sunshine together with some surf and garage tunes and there you go, ending up with a fun saturday afternoon. Thanks to Chris and Manu of Custom Parts and Wear! You guys rule.
