Read MoreThis project started out as one of Terror Garage owner Yanto’s personal builds a few years ago. He wanted to build a car with a simple concept, a nice clean look. Nakai-san worked on two cars, both of them completed in 3 ½ days from start to finish on the Terror Garage premises. He doesn’t hang about, this guy…
Read MoreThe build took around four months collectively. This was a personal build, belonging to one of the founders, Rajay Singh. So, we had to work around other concurrent client builds as well.

The forty-four year old has fond memories of drag meets and hot rod shows from his youth, spending time with his father and the Thunderbirds hot rod club in Melbourne. Not many of these stories end with a full father-son resto project though, and what a project for them to take on; Kevin Monk’s old Dodge Challenger race car.
