AMERICAN MOTOR SHOW 2011

Here a few shots showing some of our handywork at this years American Motor Show held at the Flemington Race track in Melbourne Vic.
The weather was a little showery but we managed to sneak a few photos in between the down pours.

CHEVY '49 STEERING WHEEL

Rob Fortier former Editor of " Classic Truck" magazine and now Editor of Rod & Custom Magazine in California: sent his '49 Chevy steering wheel to Australia for some TLC.
After repairs and shelf life, we pearl plasticised the wheel in vivid white. Steering wheel eventually fitted to Rob's "kick ass" '53 Chevy Belair. These amazing shots of Rob's Chev with the fitted wheel were taken by Mark Kawakami of http://www.joyridesartcompany.com/
Thanks Rob!
Thanks Mark!

FORD MAINLINE 1955 UTE

Henk & Marg Mennen from country Victoria have restored this very cool 1955 Mainline Ute.
