The ASRF is your liaison with state transport authorities on the development of street rodding in Australia.

The Australian Street Rod Federation is a non-profit, voluntary organisation which has pledged itself to the promotion and development of street rodding in Australia. Its primary objective is to increase the number of street rods and customs in Australia by assisting members to build, register and insure their vehicles. To achieve this, the ASRF is committed to promoting and developing street rodding as a major national hobby.

Last month we asked how far you’ve driven your rod, and wow, you delivered. 🛣️

For those who shared photos, swipe away!

A special mention to Rodney took his ‘34 Tudor from Tassie to WA, clocking up 12,000 km over three months. Steve drove from Cairns to the Adelaide Nationals and took home the longest distance trophy. Lorraine went from Melbourne to Darwin and up to Cooktown, with a breakdown in Elliott, NT along the way. David did a 6,000 km round trip to the Maryborough Nats, towing a camper. And Gary’s furthest drive? From the shed to the driveway and straight back in again. 😂

Some of the stories had us in stitches, others had us planning our next road trip. Thank you to everyone who shared!

Swipe through for some of the shots from the road, and if you missed it, there’s still time to drop yours in the comments 👇

Not just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle.

The response to this series keeps blowing us away. 🔧

Bare metal, decades-long projects, cars that got pushed to the back burner by life, love and everything in between, you keep sharing it and we keep loving it.

There's too many incredible builds to fit into one post, so here's this week's pick of what's happening in your sheds.

🔧 Matt Nagle's 1947 Buick, way too much left to go but looking super cool sitting on the rails.
🔧 James Taber's 1927 T, built in his own garage.
🔧 Mark Nyburg's 1931 Ford Gasser, over 7 years in the making and now in its final stages.
🔧 Vicki Grant Lackey's build, owned for over 20 years and worked on for about 10. Currently deep in bodywork, running a 440 big block stroker, a 727 full manual shift and a 9 inch.
🔧 Hans Noppers' 1937 Chev Roadster Pickup.
🔧 Ray Johnson's 1927 Tudor.

This is exactly what this series is about. Not the finished product, the rust, the progress, the wins, and the "why did I start this" moments. Every stage of a build matters, and every one of you sharing yours is what makes this community what it is.

💬 Haven't shared yours yet? Drop your build in the comments, tag us in a photo, or DM us your progress shots, we'll be featuring more throughout the month.

Everyone remembers their first one. 🚗

Maybe it was a rusted-out ute that barely got you to school. Maybe it was a hand-me-down from your old man. Maybe it was already a rod, and that's where this whole obsession started.

Doesn't matter what it was or what state it was in. That first car is the one that started it all.

💬 What was your first ever car, rod or otherwise? Tell us about it below. 👇

A day at Beachfest 2026 and what a way to spend it.

Classic cars, good crowds and that unbeatable beachside atmosphere, all rolled into one massive day. From the cruise in to the cars lining the sand, this one had it all. If you were there, you know exactly what we mean.

Were you at Beachfest this year? Tag who you rolled in with and drop your favourite moment in the comments.

A huge thanks to Bowden's Own for putting on another cracker. See you next year.

This is what a Tasmanian Nationals looks like. 🎞

Rod runs through town, cars lined up as far as you can see, and a community that turns it on every single time. This was 2022. And in 2027, we're going back.

For the first time ever, the Numbered Nats is heading to Tasmania. The 27th ASRF Street Rod Nationals lands in Ulverstone from March 18th to 22nd, 2027, with much the same format that made 2022 so good: rod runs, camping, a show and shine, closed street cruising, and full circuit driving at Symmons Plains Raceway.

Open to all pre-1978 vehicles. ASRF members only.

This is your excuse for the trip. Mark it in the calendar now.

💬 Were you at the Tasmanian event in 2022? Tell us your favourite memory below. 👇

Full roll cage. A nitrous bottle out back. A Demaj Bros race engine sitting under that scoop, with Ford Racing lettering on the wing to match. 🔧

This is a genuine SS/A class strip car, built to run, not just built to look good.

Robot Technologies on the doors. Micheal Taranto behind the wheel. And a numberplate that still makes us look twice: KILARX.

We want the full story on this one. What's it running down the quarter mile, and is Micheal still racing it today?

💬 If you know this car, or you're the owner, tell us about it below. 👇

It's that time again. Hot Rod Hue of the Week. 🎨🔧

This round comes from the 2005 Melbourne Hot Rod Show, and the paddock did not hold back on colour.

Which hue takes the crown this month? 👇

🧡 Coral — soft, punchy and nothing else on the floor looked like it
💙 Baby Blue — candy paint, whitewalls and pinstriping done properly
💜 Purple — deep, glossy and an absolute showstopper

💬 Comment your pick below: Coral, Blue or Purple. As always, no sitting on the fence. 😄

Class never dies. Money returns. Time doesn't. 🔧

You can always find another dollar. You can't get back a weekend spent in the shed, a Saturday at the track, or the years that go into getting a build exactly right. That's why we do it, not for what it's worth, but for what it means.

💬 Tag someone who gets it.

Some paint jobs are made for the dark. 🔧

There's something about a good paint job under the streetlights, the way it catches the light different to how it does in the sun. Some builds are made for the show floor, and some are made for exactly this.

💬 Best night shot you've got of your build? Drop it in the comments.
