Gotta love a good makeover. Super nice HQ coupe came back for a bit of a change and fix a whole heap of issues at the same time. Read springs were reset to dump the rear, slow sloppy gear changes are gone with the new shift kit done, basic neat engine was stripped of its bolt ons. Painted and ceramic coated everything, new polished alternator, water pump etc. Ditched the holley blue fuel pump that sounds like an outboard for a new 500hp mechanical pump along with a complete new 1/2' alloy fuel line with all speedflow fittings and braid, custom hidden bonnet cable. And of course our new son to be released black marine Deks hose clamps. Now all we need is some decent weather so it can cruise the streets with its new street cred

Our billet Valiant hinges have gone nuts recently.
We have a few sets left.
2 x Charger boot sets.
2 x VF/VG hardtop boot sets. 1 set left now.
1 x VH, CH, VJ hardtop boot set.
1 x AP5, Ap6, VC bonnet set left. Sold out.
2 x VE-CM bonnet sets. 1 set left now.
Not sure when or if these will be done again, so if you're keen, nows the time to grab them.
For those that grabbed some bonnet ones and are now thinking of grabbing a boot set, hit us up soon.
Cheers

About 4000hp in the house. Not bad for a small shop that specialises in old cars I reckon.

One of the Autoshops finest was in and went home again today. The "Wags" had some engine issues which turned into a good time to upgrade. Full engine build including upgraded cam of course. Always trying to improve, so it got some upgraded electrical and even our new black hose clamp kit throughout (more to come). Even on run in and not a full pull, the wags managed to make 30kw more than the old standard combo. Such a stunning beast that can hold its own on the street and the track.

We are a 30k strong community.
If you see our panels advertised for sale by anyone other than us, it is a scam.

We have again been made aware of an individual using our photos of panels and client vehicles to scam the community.
This person is known to police and has been using this tactic for many years.
Please don’t fall for it.

Some of the killer cars running our billet hinges. Some of the cars in the build that have just purchased are insane too with not many sets left. Thankyou to everyone that has waited patiently while we get them machined up and to Billet Creations for the awesome job. Proudly 100% Aussie made. Very big news coming up soon as we become a major distributor of something that will transform so many cool cars, for such a small cost. Details very soon. Stay tuned.

Here's an absolute cracker that we haven't shown since it came in to be stripped down. We thought this would be a nice xu1 when built but then things got out of control. The blame for that falls squarely on Ken from Southern Classics and Customs. The body and paint came back next level, so there was no way we could let that down by bolting on anything less than that. Now that it's a roller again with the new LAS spec 206 engine ready to fire, it was time to send it out for a full custom rewire. This will be one to look out for once we're finished and the weather comes good. Can't wait.

To everyone that has put an order in for a set of our valiant bonnet hinges, we have good news. They're currently in the making and shouldn't be too far away now. These are 100% Aussie designed and made and as you can see, take a huge chunk of time and billet to make. We also had some people wanting the matching VF/VG hardtop boot ones, so they will be finished soon also. Thanks everyone for your support. Cheers

Congratulations to great customer and friend Ryan.
We transformed his HK prem recently and it was finally time to hit the track and see what it can do. With small radials and a miss shift during the run he still managed an impressive 10.5 before the rain ruined his chances of getting into the low 10s. Always so good to see customers using their toys. We build these things as a way to relax and release life's stresses. Can't wait to see what it can do next time.

Here's one we've kept under wraps pretty good but it's done. Stage 3 of the Street Machine Magazine mustang almost complete. This time was rebuild the engine to suit, convert to efi, Haltech nexus, full manual trans, custom Johhny Tig intercooler and of course the F1 Procharger. The thing is an animal and will be out there with full engineering as usual. Another one of my favourites. Super tuff
