Ben Foster

Ben Forster is a hot‑rod builder and custom fabrication talent based in Perth, WA, known for his hands‑on, old‑school approach and weekend‑build ethos with the Cranksters Rod & Custom Club. He constructed the celebrated ’27 “Coupster” Model T roadster—cut, chopped, painted in pearl‑white and candy‑purple, with tuck‑and‑roll interior, a smoothed underside, and a rare Lincoln V12 “Hot Rod Lincoln” engine—entirely in a weekend, earning top honors at Mooneyes Yokohama shows and Burnout Magazine’s Pick

Ben’s passion lies in creating vehicles “to the best of [his] ability,” prioritising road‑worthy artistry over trophy chasing—a philosophy that’s seen him help fellow builders get their rides rolling, too . His award‑winning craftsmanship, community spirit, and dedication to authentic hot‑rod culture give each build both soul and swagger.
