Built to take on Drag Challenge, the blue Quey was never intended for show ’n’ shines or magazine covers, but like many builds, it evolved well past Jayden’s initial plans. Also, keep an eye out for the sneaky shot of Jayden’s doggo in the ute’s tray – it’s hidden elsewhere in the mag.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the Ford fans, we’ve got a Falcon with a difference in Mark Rachele’s US-model 1964 Futura, which was mostly built in a Shepparton fruit shed. Proof that you can build a magazine feature-worthy car at home without spending a gazillion dollars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe also take a trip to Meguiar’s MotorEx 2026, presented by LMCT+, where Australia’s top show cars both old and new gathered at Melbourne Showgrounds in a two-day paint and chrome extravaganza. If you missed out on being there in person, make sure you check out our massive 18-page feature where we highlight our favourites cars, trucks and bikes from the show, and bring you close to the action going on outside the show halls as well, from cruising to drift sessions and stunt shows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTalking candy paint and polished metal, we’ve got a full feature on Adrian Cuthbertson's beautiful VE Commodore burnout ute. You may remember Adrian as the tyre-frying maniac with the SKIDMA Sigma, and he’s back with another burnout monster that’s built to such a high level it was unveiled at Summernats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNot a fan of late-model Commodores? Then maybe you’ll love Joe Kurtovic’s blown 392 Hemi-powered 1933 Ford coupe. It’s chockers with classic hot rod touches and features a hand-fabricated, all-metal interior that’ll blow your mind. Hot rodders both young and old will agree that it’s pure perfection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen it’s time for Broads and a bunch of mates to head off for the fifth annual Oxytech Pub Run. It’s the loosest gathering of car fondlers and motoring journos this side of the Pacific Ocean, and they’ve collectively decided that a weekend of cruising cool cars – with numerous stops for ‘refreshments’ at some coastal pubs and breweries along the way – is a splendid way to spend their time. Who are we to argue?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’ve also got a pair of classic streeters in Nick Grima’s tunnel-rammed EK Holden and Chris and Angela Gobbo’s V8-powered Mk1 Cortina, both of which were built at home by their respectively owners. If this pair of 60s bruisers don’t reaffirm your faith in the scene, then you’re probably dead inside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNext, we bring you a nostalgic look at the final days of the Judd’s Auto Repairs workshop in Arncliffe, in Sydney’s southern inner suburbs. While the business itself will continue in new premises, this 100-year-old building – an integral part of the Judd family’s lives since 1961 – will soon be gone forever. Even if you haven’t stopped by the place yourself, you’ll surely relate to the Judd clan’s attachment to their long-time place of work and join us in mourning its loss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the small-car fans, we’ve got a pair of cool rides that combined would weigh less than a tradie’s dual-cab. In the red corner, there is Troy Dunning’s ear-roasting, rotary-powered Mazda 1000 ute that’s as tidy as they come, while in the blue corner, we’ve got William Yarwood’s 2JZ-powered KE20 Corolla, which is destined for Drag Challenge and the seven-second zone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf all that’s not enough to whet your appetite, there’s also a Young Gun-built HQ Belmont ute; Arby plonking a 6\/71 blower on a 4.8-litre LS to build ‘the little engine that could’; Iron Maiden Jo Davies showing off her 253-powered, HQ-fronted HZ Tonner; and BK Engines giving us a gander at an 820hp naturally aspirated mouse motor as our Mill of the Month.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat and a whole lot more can be found in the July issue of \u003cem\u003eStreet Machine\u003c\/em\u003e, so don’t wait – grab your copy now!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-ff56c16d-7fff-13c2-4d9d-414a74f28a24\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Street Machine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43852939034702,"sku":"SMA2607","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1720\/0561\/files\/SM2607_cov_shopify.jpg?v=1781140937","url":"https:\/\/shop.streetmachine.com.au\/products\/street-machine-magazine-july-2026","provider":"Street Machine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
