CRUZIN MAGAZINE #291 / SWEET PATINA #7

Diamonds in the rough, or is it the other way around?

It’s that time of year again, when we celebrate all things imperfect, with another Sweet Patina special edition! Cruzin #291 / Sweeet Patina #7 is overflowing with hot rod relics, beginning with a 1933 Ford salt lake survivor dubbed ‘The Omaha Coupe’, complete with historic photos from the 1950s.

But there’s a bunch of Aussie legends too, starting with a seriously improved Model A coupe, a very crafty Dodge pickup, and a classic 60s Galaxie with all the right stuff. We also check out a sweet XK ute from Tassie, then hang with the Gas Pig Garage crew and a pair of perfectly patina’d pickups.

Turn the key – it’s Chopped, and we checked it out in person this year and got mud in our eye with the best of ‘em. A little less raucous is RattleTrap, a perfect hunting ground for weathered steel.

Of course, we have our regular spots – Craig Counsell takes us to Levin Swap and the Flathead Fiasco, Alan Barton examines 3D-printed models, and Lori Lee Cash chats with Aussie music icon, Scotty Baker.

Check it out in Cruzin Magazine #291, out now! Grab it at your local, or buy online at https://www.drivebuy.net.au/collections/cruzin-magazine
