Factory 6

Factory 6 from Bandit Films on Vimeo.

Craig Metros is a Detroit born car designer, artist and hot rod builder. Craig moved to Melbourne, Australia five years ago on an international work transfer. The first film from new production house Fuel Tank TV begins the ‘Factory 6’ series by peering through the doors of a workshop deep in the suburbs of Melbourne. Craig is one of a handful of passionate and skillful guys, toiling away the winter nights, creating art and working on a multitude of automotive projects in the same shared space.

Craig talks to us about moving from Detroit to Melbourne, what inspires him, and what it’s like to build a hot rod that has fulfilled a childhood dream.

Bandit Films and Fuel Magazine from Melbourne Australia have joined forces to create Fuel Tank TV, a platform that curates a wide selection of short films from across the world, combined with producing and showcasing our own locally made productions.

Targa California

From Petrolicious

Targa California from Petrolicious on Vimeo.

The Targa California is our favorite way to experience the beauty and back roads of Central California in a vintage car. An homage to the original Targa Florio race in Sicily, the Targa California is a non-competitive 3-day vintage rally open to all cars 1973 or older. Driving in the middle of a pack of Porsche 356’s, Alfa Romeos, BMW 2002’s and other beauties in windy mountain roads is something we believe should be part of any college curriculum.

Depth of Speed – Salt Flats Speed Shop

From HBTV

HBTV: Depth of Speed - Salt Flats Speed Shop from HBTV on Vimeo.

Depth of Speed was born from a desire of story, travel, and a love of anything automotive related. Next year my wife and I will be taking to the streets to uncover and document the greatest stories from the automotive world. From coast-to-coast and from top to bottom, finding the best stories will take the highest priority. Every time I meet someone new or attend an event I amazed at the depth, passion, and love that the automotive world brings. Depth of Speed is just that, an in-depth look at these stories. There is something about motors and machines, that to an outsider looking in, would make us seem plain crazy.

We have begun the process of outfitting our trusty Scamp trailer to traverse the entire country. Known affectionately as a fiberglass egg, our Scamp will be our home for one year of our lives. At only 13 feet long it will make for a cozy year.

n this week’s episode of Depth of Speed, Josh Clason visits the garage of Salt Flats Speed Shop. The operation founded by Chris Davenport has developed a following based on his high-quality customization and restorations of vintage cars dating back to the 20s and 30s. Despite an increasingly automated world, Davenport’s penchant for handcrafting makes him one of the greatest advocates for utilizing ways of the past.

Depth of Speed: Something From Nothing

Depth of Speed: Something From Nothing from Josh Clason on Vimeo.

By: Josh Clason

I had the opportunity to swing by TBC Hot Rods and Bikes in Fayetteville, NC and check out the shop. Every month the guys at the shop pool their funds together to bring in a band, food, and drinks for “Garage Night”. It is something that really gives back to the automotive community in Fayetteville which is what it is all about. Tim Bradham is one of the nicest people you will meet and is a master fabricator. He creates a lot of things out of raw materials and it is amazing to see something start from nothing.
