BEAU BOUCHER FROM CUT WELD DRIVE TAKES OUT THE LAURIE STARLING ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AWARD WITH HIS GODZILLA-POWERED '65 F100
EACH year at Street Machine Summernats, we award the Laurie Starling Memorial Scholarship to a young and upcoming automotive worker who's shown real promise and innovation in the world of awesome car building. This year's recipient was 19-year-old Luke Wehbe, a gun apprentice vehicle builder with the Elard family at Image Vehicle Manufacturing.
In addition to the Memorial Scholarship, there's another Starling tribute award that honours Laurie's unique style of car modification. The Laurie Starling Engineering Excellence Award is given out at Meguiar's MotorEx each year toa car build that embodies out-of-the-box thinking and clever engineering.
For 2025, that award went to Beau Boucher’s slammed, Godzilla V8-powered 1965 Ford F100, built entirely out of his Cut Weld Drive business in Geelong.
Congratulations on the win, Beau. How does it feel?

DIRTY STUFF
THIS is now the age of the overlord: our friendly Big Brother who watches all that we do and corrects our wayward ways. I'm talking about the technology that has invaded our new vehicles. Robots now virtually control how we drive, often forcibly fixing our minor mistakes. And that could possibly kill you if you are not fully awake to what these robots can do!
