Since we adopted the use of clecos we have been able to mock up sheetmetal in far quicker times than ever before... Here we have used them to test fit and then re-align panels as we make them... These are the types of tools that will really make a difference in those big builds where quality is key... These and more specialised tools can be found in our online store...

DWCustoms are expanding to incorporate DWAudio and electronics... This venture sees Stuart McKinlay join the team bringing with him eight years of experience in car audio and electronics installation, together with custom fabricated stereo setups... Stuart has been involved in the custom install of systems for Bundy, Boston Acoustics, JVC and has hand in many a big SPL car as well as a bunch of customs... DWAudio is your one stop sound shop...

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep up in the crazy tech world we have added a FACEBOOK site that will also link to our TWITTER so we will be updating the goings on in the shop more often in an attempt to keep everyone in the loop of what work is currently being undertaken as well as some of the random things that go on in the shop... We will post up specials and events that we will be running in order to give you all the best gear and advice for your next cutom project...

After 5 years we finally got the opportunity to airbag les's Awesome 50 Merc... The design brief for this car was to make the system entirely bolt in as to preserve the detailed undercarriage and presence this car has... Les's car is immaculate and is a fine example of what a load of dedication and time achieves... This year we have hopped on board as major sponsors of Gasolene and we thought what better car to illustrate the benefits of air suspension in than this amazing sled... The feature on the Merc will be going to air in February and demonstrates the benefits air suspension can have as well as the importance of creating road legal customs through following stringent design guidelines for modifications in place across all states of Australia... Thanks go to Mick at Gasolene for giving us the opportunity to be part of what has become one of the highest raing shows on Channnel 31 and to Les for supporting us through allowing us to utilise his AWSM50...

Last week a friend of the shop got bored and seeing that we had some vacant real estate on the wall decided to gift us with a massive piece... You can check out the progress in the gallery... We are always seeking artists to fill the walls at DWCustoms so if you know of or are an artsist please feel free to come in and talk to us about aquiring some of the property available within the DWCustoms showroom...

The APAC brand has been built from over 30 years experience in tool manufacturing. Over this time an excellent reputation for professional Pneumatic Tools, Power Tools, Hand Tools and Auto-Service Equipment has emerged. APAC products are for professional service centres, workshops and passionate automotive builders.

Since taking on the APAC brand of tools in the new shop we thought it about time we review some of our favourites in the range as well as show off some of the new gear that has since been delivered for stock to the ever growing catalogue of custom that we are building. APAC's geared wrenches were high on the priority list when we invested in our new tools and they have since proven far more worth than we had ever anticipated... In most circumstances when you are removing a bolt of unknown origin it is difficult to ascertain whether the fitment is impaerial or metric... with APAC's unique geared wrench there is no need to carry around a multitude of tools as each geared wrench will do both formats... These things have to be seen to be believed so come in and check out the ever growing range in the new shop...

No need to buy two sets... APAC have combined both Metric and Imperial sizing into one polished set of geared wrenches...

APAC have sent us some smaller socket sets for re-sale... you can check them all out here or in the new facility...

These are a must have for any billet wheel owner... Sleeved for scratch protection these deep sockets come in all the right fits...
