Custom Car | May 2026
The May 2026 issue of Custom Car Magazine is out now 🔥
Packed with incredible builds and stories, this issue features Mick Harle’s “Nightmare on ’35 Street” – a once-dangerous ’35 coupe transformed into a sharp, road-ready hot rod after a full rebuild uncovered some seriously questionable engineering.
We show off Bill Mitchell’s stunning revival of a ’49 Austin A40 Devon pick-up, first rodded back in 1986 and brought back to life as a full-on custom packed with clever fabrication and bold ideas, plus a beautifully executed ’63 Nova wagon built with a “best of everything” approach, including a 400hp ZZ5 crate engine and modern running gear.
Alongside our headline features, you’ll find coverage of the 2025 National Finals, a look at All American Day, a pair of traditional Model 40 rods in Roarin’ 40s, and all the latest news, events and reviews.
