It’s been a banner year in the Elite Hall at Street Machine Summernats 36, with an incredible array of models and build styles on show. Everything from tough Aussie classics to hot rods to lesser-spotted Japanese and British rides have been gleaming in the hall for punters to enjoy, the one common denominator among them being the incredible level of detail, craft and quality finish lavished upon them.
Exemplifying this was the truly outstanding FORGED XY Fairmont of Dan Morton, which scooped up practically every top elite award going, including the big one: Top Judged Elite.
