Joe’s more than capable of spray painting and mural work, panel beating, welding, fibreglasser, designer and fabricator just to mention a few. These skills have all attributed to what and where he is today!

Joe initially started out in the panel shop trade when he was a teenager, just 14 years old. His first up effort in the custom world was actually a 62 EK Holden called “Shady Lady”; back then Chevy’s weren’t cheap so this type of car was an affordable alternative for a young man.

It was then that he quickly began to learn the art of flaring guards, rolling pans and stone trays plus the mixing and applying custom paint and general bodywork. And from there on in it was all Chevy’s for Joe as he realized the iconic values of his craft back then.

In the earlier years of his career he was a paint and panel beating teacher at Richmond night school for over seven years. But after a while and with a family settled he went over to the boat world. It was then that the art of fibreglassing evolved.
