Hot Rods Archives - Darren Woolway

Kent VW Festival 2018

This year the show returned back to Coldred in Dover, as we set up on Thursday it was a scorcher of a day at 37C and it was looking to be a sunny weekend… then Friday night around 7.30pm a great cloud that looked like a sausage roll rolled over the campsite followed by a massive updraft of wind lifting and snapping gazebos and tents everywhere. For those who survived the aftermath we were treated to some amazing bands throughout the weekend, a funfair and plenty of activities for the kids to enjoy.

We clocked in around 430 cars, thanks to everyone who turned up and purchased prints and mugs. Find purchased images below; which you can use on your social media.

Kent Kit Car, Custom Car and American Car Show

Kent Kit, Custom, American & All Ford Show 2018

This years show was an absolute scorcher, makes an amazing difference compared to all the rain we had during the show season last year. Talking of rain the Kent All Ford Show was cancelled in April due to a waterlogged field and combined this July with the Kent Kit, Custom and American Car show. We clocked in around 650 cars, thanks to everyone who turned up and purchased prints and mugs. Find purchased images below which you can use on your social media.

1932 Ford Coupe

In the October issue of Custom Car magazine you can read the full feature on Dave Batson’s 1932 Ford Coupe that he had built to best represent the old Hot Wheels toys we played with as children. Having always wanted one since 1973 he finally managed to get his hands on one in 1999 but didn’t expect it to take 15 years to make his vision a reality.

Automotive Photographer photographs American Car Hot Rod in the UK

GMC Pickup BTS

Today I have had the pleasure of meeting Ted and photographing his GMC pick up truck. Sitting under the bonnet is a 360 Chevy with 400 turbo blocks. It has a traction rear axle and TCI front clip, a 4 bar rear end with watch linkage and slammed with air bags.

Look out for the official images and story coming out in American Car Magazine magazine over the next few months.

1932 Ford Model A Coupe – Hot Rod BTS

It happens to be the best time to get the best photographs is really early in the morning before everyone else has awoken. The location for this photoshoot was Rochester, next to the castle and cathedral; to be able to be undisturbed and avoid crowds of public and tourists we had to be in and out of there before they stirred. Having worked in a club Saturday night I was a little dreary eyed having only 2.5 hours sleep before having to wake up to start my next shoot. It was worth every tear and energy drink though so I am happy I made the effort.

The photo shoot in question was for non other than Custom Car Magazine ‬ with this beautiful 1932 Ford Model A Hot Rod, the images look amazing and I am super excited for when I can release the official photos. Keep an eye out for it in the magazine.

One of the most frustrating aspects of my job, especially being so fresh to it is that I have a load of amazing work as my style develops that I want to share with you all but am unable to until it goes to print. So make sure you keep checking back to see when I upload the official photos of these beautiful classic, american and hot rod cars.

But for now here is another Behind The Scenes from this shoot:
