Regular Fuel Magazine contributor Craig Metros churns out art from his Coburg workshop at a rate of knots. His latest pieces have been created for an annual event that happens at his workplace, the Ford of Australia R&D centre in Campbellfield, Victoria.

In Craig’s own words:

“Each year at Ford we produce work for an art auction, from which all the proceeds go to juvenile diabetes research. The design guys at Ford Australia have produced some great work this year.

These are my two submissions based on the Gulf Ford GT and my ’31 Model A rod.”

Plenty more to come from Craig’s rodding and artistic antics right here and in future issues of Fuel Magazine.

I’m gutted I didn’t plan my UK trip a touch earlier to scoop up the Hot Rod Hayride. The next best thing has to be checking out some photo work from people that went along. Click on over to the Lowtech blog to check out some cool coverage.
