Robert Forbes  - Consultants. Robert and Frank have both been involved in Street Rodding in Australia since their teen years and have a very in depth knowledge of the industry and what is required to build top level cars. Both Robert and Frank have had many, many Hot Rods over the years, many quite well known including a gorgeous red 1934 Ford Tudor that won many awards at the Victorian Hot Rod Show in the 1990’s and Franks blown 1940 Ford coupe (Street Machine feature 2001). Both are still building Hot Rods currently with Robert building a hot side valve powered steel 1934 3 window coupe and Frank placing the finishing touches on a 1932 Ford Roadster and a Pro Street 39 Ford Coupe with blown small block power.

Frank Cassar - Consultant.  Frank bought his first car when he was 18 years old, an EJ Sedan and a few years later he bought a HK-GTS Monaro which he put the time into hotting up.
The next main car he purchased was a '39 Willy's Sedan. This car was the ugly duckling of the Willy's, but Frank put the time into the car and turned it into a swan. His next purchase was a '34 Chevy Sedan, but after these two cars Frank stopped hot rodding and started concentrating on building his dream home. Once the house was finished Frank got the itch again as hot rodding was in his blood.
He purchased a '40 Ford Coupe Body and searched high and low for parts to complete the project. Frank wanted to bring this car back to life and put in a 350 Chevy motor fully blown, rich leather interior and a sound system that would knock your sock's off!
The '40 Ford Coupe was entered into the Adelaide Show and came home with 13 Trophies, the car was also entered into the Melbourne Hot Rod Show where it won 'Top Coupe'.

Frank also owns a '32 Ford Roadster which he did up for cruising as well as a 56 Buick. Frank's current restoration project is a 1940 Desoto which was left to him by his wife's uncle.
