25.01.2022 Well, i'll never take my freedom for granted again. Feels damn good to be back at it. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #abarth #coachbuilding
25.01.2022 Progress on the XP delivery floors. Well done @ki_dower_classic #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #keepingitalive #xpfalcon
25.01.2022 Hey legends, Stoked to share our pullmax/vibroshear tooling table with you all. The main platform measures 515x800 and is stepped to present the tools to the operator. At 2mm material thickness its plenty strong enough without weighing too much. We've also incorporated a shadow shelf 20mm lower than the deck to land the tooling posts. As you can see this is of massive benefit to myself and the team, increasing efficiency and general shop presentation. Ill be ordering another ...in the new year and will be offering them for sale by order. Cost will be $599inc GST with freight to be calculated. The tooling station will be welded and finished by us. All you need to do is let us know your tooling post size and we will edit the size as per required. Slide into my DMs for more info. Cheers heaps mates. #brownesmetalcraft #pullmax #vibroshear #metalshaping #coachbuilding #fabrication
25.01.2022 Today's little custom job knocked out One piece, 3mm aluminium. Returning to the big jobs now. Exciting times as a couple of our larger projects approach completion. What an odd year so far. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #custom #restoration #fabrication
24.01.2022 ISO Abarth. Can't wait to go back to operating as usual. Defs going to open the shop for some open days over summer. Maybe a little morning cruise for charity? Thoughts? Miss you guys.... #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #coachbuilding #restoration #abarth #simca
24.01.2022 Took these pics of the Flaminia all wrapped up last night. Pretty darn good feeling. We're now finalising all the edges and gapping panels up. Next up we'll restore the doors and fabricate some new skins and she'll been finished #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding #lancia #flaminia #restoration
24.01.2022 Abarth cont. Hope everyone is doing ok
22.01.2022 Monday shapes on the Abarth 1300GT. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #coachbuilt #restoration #abarth
22.01.2022 Always nice to receive some positive feedback after a job has left our custody. After undergoing some fairly serious reconstructive surgery this Triumph TR250 is finally sitting pretty. We addressed issues in chassis, structure and panel. Just like a house, it's important to ensure a good foundation to build upon. Thanks for all the great comments and shares everyone. We love you. Maybe we need another open day soon as restrictions ease?! #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coa...chbuilding #restoration #melbourne See more
21.01.2022 Some more @the_sinner356 progress today file finishing our inner bonnet gutter piece into the front end. The last few photos illustrate the discovery of some more of the sinners past sins cant be much left now lol. Really happy with this project at the moment, no major metalshaping work left (I think we've remade nearly all of it ). Just need to wire the front wheel arches, seal and weld the front end on, spot the sills and the rest is basic procedural stuff. Yayyy. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #porsche #356 #thesinner
20.01.2022 And just like that, it's all over. One 1959 Lancia Flaminia GT. Customer and team smiling ear to ear. #brownesmetalcraft #blackmagic #metalshaping #restoration #lancia #flaminia
20.01.2022 Wrapped with our progress on the Flaminia...see what I did there??? Front and rear sheetmetal clips have been wrapped onto the body now for good. We left the front and rear door jambs open so we could fit and weld the sills in and be able to dress the welds out. We're having a late night turning the sheetmetal around the door jambs tonight. Roof will go on tomorrow. Wow! #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding #restoration #doneright #lancia #flaminia
20.01.2022 Our young legend @ki_dower_classic making some new Cadillac wheel arches
19.01.2022 Saddened to report that my uncle has passed away this morning after a very hard fought battle with mantle cell lymphoma. We will all miss you mate. #fuckcancer
18.01.2022 Fuuuuueeeel. Shared a cracker day with Fuel Tank recently discussing skills, passion and beginnings. Check out the Fuel Tank page or YouTube channel for other great content. Enjoy.
18.01.2022 Wanna know the easy way to remove body mount brackets??? Make sure theyre not attached properly to begin with

18.01.2022 Rolling into the weekend with style. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding #restoration #lancia #flaminia #touring #superleggera
18.01.2022 Hey legends, Haven't heard from us in a while? Maybe corona virus slowed things down here? Maybe it's the opposite and we're busy getting after it? Thankfully it's the latter. We hope anyone who has been affected gets back on their feet safely and quickly. Here's a few shots of an aluminium rear guard we are shaping using the old fibreglass/bog guard as a buck (or guide in this case). Still a little more shrinking required to pull that front piece around.... Happy Monday folks, let's punch it #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration
18.01.2022 One down, next one going on tomorrow morning. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #lancia #flaminia
17.01.2022 Another happy customer has just shared a few images of his project with us. Fairly extensive rust repairs were required around the front and rear screen areas and scuttle panels. If you scroll back through our profile I'm sure you'll find the work in progress posts. Looks great Barry, nearly there mate. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #fabrication #valiant
17.01.2022 99% finished. We've crossed the T's and dotted most of the I's. Wish we could host an open day and show it off but with covid and restrictions a video walk around will have to do. Have a great weekend everyone. #brownesmetalcraft #blackmagic #metalshaping #lancia #flaminia #restoration
17.01.2022 Errrmm, looks like you forgot to taper those louvers in properly mate Don't worry, we gotchya. Always interesting finding little factory errors on these old hand made beauties. Today ill be addressing these bodgy aluminium repairs where they've split the material after shortening the louvers down. Next will be a little tap up and file finish. Bloody louvers ... Stay tuned champions
17.01.2022 Hey champions, Here's a little video update on the shop delivery. Enjoy #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #fabrication
17.01.2022 Took the Duesenberg guard outside to check the reflections of the shapes. A few minor adjustments required but starting to look the goods. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding
16.01.2022 Have I mentioned we love metal? #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #blackmagic #letsgetafterit
16.01.2022 Hand made Dustings sidecar. Good clean fun. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping
16.01.2022 As promised, here is the firewall with the original brush finished body numbers still intact from 1959. Fantastic result! Client and team are stoked. Next up we are assembling the front subframe and suspension components. #brownesmetalcraft #lancia #flaminia #restoration #doneright
15.01.2022 @the_sinner356 rear sheet metal restoration 2/2 We rebuilt everything to factory manual specs and tolerances. SET AND FORGET! #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #porsche
15.01.2022 This week's efforts go out to my dear nanna who passed peacefully in her sleep last night. Ahhhhh, life. Xx
15.01.2022 Last little job done before Victorian lockdown. One piece, no cuts, no welds. Thankfully one of us will be allowed to man the fort and work in isolation during this madness. Time to practice a little acceptance and try to find some stillness. Love you guys, stay safe. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping
14.01.2022 Another one of our custom dashes all finished up. Free shop tee shirt and sticker pack if you can guess what it's going in to #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #custom

11.01.2022 Putting the pedal down here. Keep focussed and stay productive people, it'll be over soon.
11.01.2022 Quick dry assembly of a few bits this evening. Just needs a good clean and the Flaminia is ready for final inspection tomorrow. I'm so proud of the team here at Browne's Metalcraft, and our client, for all our hard work building a car to such a high standard. We are very excited to deliver the Flaminia back to the owner and have it progress on to the next stage. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #lancia #flaminia #restoration #doneright
11.01.2022 Works on our latest project, the Abarth 1300 GT, have commenced with a few minor rust repairs on the inner steel frame. Today I'm saving my back a little and will give the roof skin a good clean up and file. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #coachbuilding #abarth #restoration
10.01.2022 Feels like the worlds gone mad recently so here's a welcome distraction. Check out what we've been working on. Love you guys xx Ps how cools the shop truck!?! Redneck special. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #lancia #flaminia #triumph #tr250 #gmc #c20 #shoptruck
10.01.2022 Next week we're getting back into @the_sinner356 restoration after a little covid break. Here's a little trip down memory lane outlining some of the repairs made to the rear structure. Tomorrow I'll share some rear sheet metal pics.... #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #porsche #356
09.01.2022 This is going to be one hell of a fun build. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #abarth
08.01.2022 When two become one. Here we are fitting the body to the chassis. Following body fit up, and some minor floor repairs, we will be hanging doors and guards, working our magic on the body. This one will progress quite quickly. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #triumph #tr250
08.01.2022 Monster weekend getting all the chassis work sealed and into stoneguard in preparation for wrapping the skins on. Quite a trip spending the time cleaning all the nooks and crannies reacquainting ourselves with all the work we've done. She's a come a long way and I'm excited to see it all come together. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration
08.01.2022 Oooof. Get after it. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #coachbuilt #abarth
07.01.2022 Here's some tidy tin work we've been busy with. Everything fits beautifully and can be removed with ease. Form AND function. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #showcar
07.01.2022 For anyone who missed our stories yesterday heres the update on the Duesenberg boot skin and frame mods. We have adjusted the upper and lower gaps, the side gaps are still unacceptable due to body error. We will be repairing the rear quarters next followed by some hand made rear guards. Still plenty of work in the shop and some exciting bookings for the rest of the year. Keep safe and hang on, we will get through this!!!! #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding
06.01.2022 Starting the week off right folks. One of, if not the final complex part I need to make for @the_sinner356. A little bit of skill, a little bit of brain power but mostly just good looks. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #porsche
05.01.2022 Flaminia chassis' last moments with its clothes off as body flanges get trimmed to fit. Suspension components fitted in preparation for new door skins. The body has a fair amount of flex in it so we want it sitting under it's own weight to ensure correct door gaps (they close up entirely when the car was upside down on the rotisserie ) All our hard work is starting to pay off visually. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding #restoration #doneright
05.01.2022 Waiting for restrictions to ease and get back to work as per usual. Soon folks, real soon. As much as its sucked, fighting "what is" will only bring you some kind of pain and generally piss you off, which in turn you put onto others. (You think that's deep, wait til you hear me after a few drinks ) In all seriousness though, we've done our best to stay positive and develop a good attitude toward the situation. Its been a good opportunity to re-model the shop, attend to much... needed maintenance, take on some different and exciting essential fabrication work to tide us over, working on the shop truck. Us and many others are gonna be full noise soon, can't wait. Whats the point of this post? I don't know, we're still here, doing well and chomping at the bit to get to it and shape some metal Big love, BROWNES METALCRAFT
05.01.2022 Before and after. Today we said goodbye.
05.01.2022 Great success, we are booked for our first round of priming and stone guard next week in preparation for skin wrapping. Really nice to push all that aluminium work over the line. Dont worry, new doorskins will be shaped once its back on its wheels.
05.01.2022 Our 59 Caddy wheel arch patches are finished and ready for pick up #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #cadillac
05.01.2022 Lancia. Friday. Good. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #lancia #flaminia
04.01.2022 Super sweet Porsche 912 in for a little love. New front guards fitted and gapped, some minor panel alignment and a few other little bits. They really nailed these mid-late 60s Porsches #brownesmetalcraft #porsche #911 #912
04.01.2022 A new lower piece fabricated and welded in on this Graham Paige radiator shell. We have an earlier style shell up next. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #restoration #vintagecar #grahampaige

03.01.2022 Sweet and simple. #brownesmetalcraft
03.01.2022 Lancia front sheet metal clip progressing nicely. All large patches shaped, welded in and filed up as well as addressing surrounding damage. Next up we will be rewiring the perimeter and fitting it to the tubular frame for some work to the grill surround. We are lucky to still be firing on all cylinders here. Everyone is healthy and we are continuing on with our projects as per normal. Although we are effectively running a closed workshop at the moment, we are happy to work w...ith you however we can whilst maintaining proper precautions. Even under normal circumstances we keep our clients well informed via email, social media, video and audio call, txt etc. All the best folks, stay safe. Xx #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic
03.01.2022 Hey folks, Heres some more snaps of @the_sinner356. We're firing back up on this monster build this week. What a ripper #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #blackmagic #porsche356

Nice collaborative project as the part was designed and cut by @scratchbuiltco. Hope that was enough tags for you to handle on a Friday.

A very exciting little job, both myself and client are enjoying the process. Cheers #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #coachbuilding #blackmagic #abarth #abarth1300
01.01.2022 Really great to see our two OE styled custom gauge clusters installed and being used. We even made a little pullmax tool to replicate the original ribbing in the material. Thanks for the positive feedback G, glad you dig em. #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #custommade
01.01.2022 Triumph TR250 starting to look shhhhmicko. Side hang off panels have been worked and fitted, doors open and close nicely, body lines flow, front roll pan has been worked and scoop cut in. We're currently working a new lower half skin for the boot lid and re-gapping the bonnet so its not so,,,Triumph #brownesmetalcraft #metalshaping #triumph #tr250 #tr4 #tr5
