New Zealand car show season is kicked off annually by the Kumeu Classic Car & Hot Rod Festival. One of NZ’s largest car events, the Kumeu show draws in attendees from all over the world. This year we decided to start the season off with a bang by undertaking one of our most insane projects yet – restoring a 1963 SS Impala in only twelve days, to be unveiled at the show.

1963 SS Impala – Day 12
Turning this pile of parts into a car in less than two weeks was no mean feat, but we sure are pleased with the result! You can read more about the project here.
We want to give a huge thanks to everyone who brought in their cars to show off in our display. This year we wanted to do something different, opting to show off some of our more recent works. Pretty much all of the twelve cars on display had been completed in the last 12 months.
