Keith Watt called in recently with his newly certified Model A Tourer. We've
been pleased to help Keith with a number of parts on his latest build, but
our association with this car goes back many years to when we photographed
it for a cover shot on NZ Street Rodder back in 1984. The car was cool then,
but no way near the quality of finish that Keith has incorporated into the
rebuild after he bought it from the late Harry Bradnock.
Check out Keith's tub and other customers cars on our gallery pages.

At Magoos we not only tackle full builds, we can also undertake piece
projects. Eg the pair of 34 Dodge running boards we recently built for a
customer. So if you need that special part made for your car, let us know.
We'd be happy to quote on it for you.


Another example of an 'out of the square' project we handled recently was
this racing sports car. Believed to be a mid-50s 'Buckler', although it
could also be a Mistral, these cars were available as kits and ran on Ford
10 (Anglia/Popular/Prefect) chassis. Even the late/great Bruce McLaren raced
in one of these. This particular body had certainly been 'raced, rallied and
rolled' so our mission was to make a new deck lid and undertake repairs to
the nose cone. Will never be a show rod, but nice to be involved in some New
Zealand motor racing history.

Magoos Street Rods next annual Open House is scheduled for Saturday March 13.

Such is the popularity of this event that it traditionally has attracted visitors and cars from as far afield as Auckland and Dunedin.

The day kicks off at 9am and will again tie in with drags at Masterton Motorplex. After meeting the staff, inspecting the workshop and checking out the range of projects that we have underway, attendees with hot rods, street machines and classics have the option of a convoy run to the drags with free admission, a dedicated parking area and the chance to make a display run down the strip.

A trophy for the Best Represented hot rod club was won in 2009 by
Gearjammers from Paraparaumu and will again be keenly contested this year.

Make sure and slot this one on the calendar!

Life continues to be busy at Magoo's with several new projects started late last year and another this month. Some are scratch built turn key and others are rebuilds of older hot rods. Check out our gallery for updates on individual cars and remember if you're contemplating a project of your own, please contact us to discuss options, pricing and timing.
