Thanks For Your Vote! We won NZV8 ‘Street Car of the Year’ …

Thanks to all those who voted for us in  this year’s NZV8 Magazine  awards…

Matamata  Panelworks won the “NZV8 Street Car of the Year 2011” Award for our smokin’ hot  restoration of a Ford Falcon XB muscle car. See the accompanying picture from  the cover of NZV8 magazine. For those of you with sharp eyes, yes, it is the  same car we took to the Powercruise event in Taupo last December where it picked  up several other awards including the big one, Top Judged to Show Class. Not  bad, eh?

We always  promise AND deliver world-class car restoration here at Panelworks but it’s nice  for the boys in the panel shop and the paint shop to get some well deserved  recognition for the top work that they do day after day: Well done, boys! The  beers are on me. But don’t celebrate too hard because now you’ve go to keep the  up the high standards you’ve set. Bugger!

There are some nice  job is going on in the panel shop at the moment  …

We’d just  been fitting some nice ‘Total Control Products’ on the ’70 Ford Mustang: along  with a whole new front end and FAB9 differential gear housing. It is going to  look real clean with the new 427r Roush Engine just in from the States. Plus, a  few more choice projects coming through I’ll talk about in later  blogs.

For a car guy  this is as good as it gets.

Cheers,
