Kim’s Fabrication: Crafting Custom Steel and Hot Rod Dreams

Phil March 6, 2025 2 min read

After diving into Bruce’s Mopar Madness and Carrington’s Valiant Charger Resto Mod build interviews, we made our way to Kim’s Fabrication in Canberra with Con to chat about their shop, their projects, and their passion for custom automotive work.

Kim’s Fabrication primarily specializes in stainless steel kitchen and hospital builds, which serve as their main source of income. However, their love for hot rods, classic cars, and muscle cars remains at the forefront of their aspirations. Con was happy to give us an in-depth look at what Kim’s Fabrication does, highlighting their past and present automotive projects.

The shop played a significant role in both Bruce’s Plymouth Tudor Coupe and Carrington’s Valiant Charger resto mod projects (check out the links below for videos). Their latest undertaking, however, is a massive challenge—completing a 1964 EH Holden Sedan build under strict time constraints. The car, being built for an owner’s daughter, needs to be ready before her high school year ends. This ambitious build includes a 5.7L LS engine, full custom rails, floors, rear tubs, and a completely customized front end. While they’ve already made substantial progress, there’s still plenty to be done in a short timeframe.

Additionally, the team is also working on their own Kim’s Fabrication Shop Rod, which must be completed in time for Rocky Nats this year. This custom hot rod will serve both as a showcase for the shop’s craftsmanship and for future events. The stainless steel work done so far on this build is nothing short of stunning, especially the diamond-pattern tray at the back of the Hot Rod Ute.

If you’re in Canberra and need custom steel work for your hot rod, classic, or muscle car, Kim’s Fabrication is the place to visit. Their dedication to precision and quality is evident in every project they take on. If only postage wasn’t so expensive to WA—I’d be sending my parts over in a heartbeat!
