Toxic Q

THE cover car for the current issue of Street Machine is Lou Ackovski’s chopped and slammed HQ Holden, dubbed TOXIC Q.

With its outrageous stance, massive body work and super-smooth finish, the car looks like the product of a high-end workshop, but was actually built in Lou’s humble two-car garage. Not that Lou is an amateur by any means, having been an award-winning chopper builder in the past and now a fabricator at CAD Customs in Melbourne. Let’s have a look at how the car came together.

With the car braced, Lou removed the HQ’s roof, removing 2.5in of height at the front and 1.75in at the back

The HQ began life as a run-down stocker. Lou removed the vinyl roof, cut out the floor and sat the body over the massive 20in rims to establish the car’s stance. This, of course, is the fun part!
