24.01.2022 What a weekend the Paton Family Racing boys had!! Both cars performed at their peak which allowed Lochie in the dragster, to run a PB of 4.17 to the 1/8th mile at 275kmph, while Damon muscled the funny car down the track to a 4.26!!!! Along with being the 2 fastest cars at the Palmyra track on the weekend, Lachie also took away the top qualifier trophy with a reaction time of 0.04 seconds. Wish Mr CAM Fab could pull these speeds out on the floor in the shop ... What a great team! My ears are still ringing and our voices are slowly coming back after cheering you on. P.s The stickers adhesiveness is 100%.

24.01.2022 Nearly double capacity fuel tank upgrade should see this customer safely travel further without the need for jerry cans.

24.01.2022 The next step on the Falcon, making room for big things and a clean up

24.01.2022 Here we go with another product... This time we have something for the offroad/winch truck community. This is our GQ extra cab rollcage which meets and exceeds AASA, CCDA and CAMS specifications. This cage is now available three ways- Flat pack DIY... Fully welded ready to slide in a cut cab Complete in house install including extra cab conversion (or style side for offroad racing). As we are a AASA registered safety cage manufacturer, installing one of these cages will make it all smooth sailing when it comes to getting your vehicle log booked as it comes complete with a certificate of manufacture and serial number. As another option for in house install, we can also send all relevant paper work and have the cage documented and serial numbered with CAMS (Motorsport Australia) ready to apply for a log book.

22.01.2022 Quick update on a project we have on the go at the moment. - Albins mock gearbox mounted - L98 engine mounted - Chromoly rear end with spare wheel rack on top - Twin 3 inch into 5 inch exhaust (waiting on muffler)... Still to go- hydraulic bump stops, oil coolers, air boxes, sway bar, fuel tanks, exterior panels, bash plates, torque converter tank, relocate coils..... lots to go yet. See more

22.01.2022 Neat tray with bolt on dog box we built for the back of this customers buggy. Complete with 16L water tank in the headboard and tipping function to make engine access easy. #buggy #yamahaviking #yamaha

22.01.2022 We are now also now stocking a range of cool little time saver tabs and brackets. Zip-tie tabs, 10 pack $15 Mounting tags, 6-14mm, 10 pack $15-$18 Mounting tags with root nuts available in m6, m8 and m10, 10pack $25-30 Much much more coming. These are just some basic universals we have been using.

21.01.2022 So it turns out that a Canam x3 is not an effective stump removal machine!! Nothing a bit of heat and some custom made pullers couldn’t straighten. Then we have added a complete weld on chromoly bulk head from GRC, and backed it with our brace kit. Solid as and ready to get back to racing.

21.01.2022 Cage tube order! Hey guys, we will be doing another cage tube order tomorrow. This will most likely be the last for the year so stock up for them Xmas builds now

20.01.2022 SSS Round 2 results have finally been released and we are quite happy with the outcome. Managed to come away with 1st place on stages 2 & 6 and 3rd place on sta...ge 10. Among our other non podium finishes on the other stages we placed 7th overall. Id like to take the opportunity to again thank those that made it possible for us to get down there and see what it was all about.

19.01.2022 NEW PRODUCT!!! GQ Dual cab rear wall kit. CAM Fabrications is once again changing the game of what is being sold as kits on the DIY market. Its taken some arm twisting from Mrs Boss, but Im finally ready to give up my design to help others achieve a more cost effective and appealing finished product. Panels are made of 2mm zinc, offering rust protection but easily welded and paintable. All laser cut to shape, no hacking it out yourself.... Kit comes with all internal bracing and instructions. Prices starting from $970 + freight Optional extras - window, tray mount kit, coil brace kit. *At this stage we ONLY have the the GQ kit available. We DO NOT have kits for GUs or cruisers. ** More pictures coming tomorrow night, of this kit installed.

19.01.2022 NP300 protective bar work. This set is more aimed at preventing the stone chips the vehicle has been sustaining while on site. A great investment as they work a lot cheaper then a sill repair and paint work. We can also make a flatter step style to suit NP300 in our jig.

17.01.2022 Its been extremely busy around the shop the last few months. Lots of awesome jobs have come and gone and some we cant share unfortunately but well do a bit of a catch up over the next few days. First up- Powder coated tub side dog box.

17.01.2022 NEW AUSTRALIAN DEALERS!!! CAM Fabrications is proud to announce we are now a dealer for Rear Light Bar. With all sanctioning bodies of Offroad racing bringing in new rear lighting regulations, and a single blue strobe costing up to $665 we knew there had to be a better, more cost effective way. So here is the answer, designed, tested and proven. We will be keeping stock ready to roll in common sizes and configurations. #beseen #besafe #rlb

16.01.2022 On a regular basis

16.01.2022 A quick dog/security cage we knocked up last week. Should help keep the dogs in and unwanted hands out.

16.01.2022 Patrol 10-12 shock mount kits $395. Our latest kit for mounting front shocks is now available. Suitable for smoothies or triple bypass. The base plate is also setup to take a 2.5 king hydro bump stop. Kit includes- shock to diff mounts, base plate, welded towers.

15.01.2022 Yep. I know exactly how he feels

15.01.2022 It’s been a big build but the guys have finished up the last few jobs and Typan is now ready to head to Lowmead, this time safer and even more equiped. It’s been awesome to have this beast back in after 6yrs since its last visit, back when it was just me in my shed at home. The *safety cage we designed and built for Typan meets and exceeds CCDA specs and has been signed off for AASA and CAMS (Motorsport Aust.) allowing it to race in any offroad event in Australia and even ha...s a steel fuel tank to comply with Ultra4 regulations. * These cages are available in kit form, welded or unwelded. (Designed for GQ extra cab only) Complete with a VERY angry LS motor, this bad boy is one you should keep and eye out for on the track!

15.01.2022 Breaker one, Breaker one! Looks like CAM Fab has been cohortin with a mighty fine ol piece of machinery! Stay tuned for the next eppisode

15.01.2022 Kicked the boys out of the shop today for a bit on site assembly work on a truck setup we’ve been building. We had just a simple little list of features to fit in on this one!! Swing out spare wheel carrier that when open acts as a handle for the BMA spec ladder. 85L water tank on the headboard BMA spec head board panel with logos laser cut.... Flush mount tie down points Fridge slide to suit 80L Engle Twin battery mounts Wiring area with gear tray. Centre locker compartment with lift lid and swing gate all sealed. Hung under tray boxes to take more weight. Full set of draws coloured to match customers product. Flag, aerial and light mounts galore..... See more

11.01.2022 Things have been super tough around the workshop lately. A few weeks ago we were uncertain of the future of the workshop due to COVID 19 which happened right after Mrs Boss decided to go back to her old job for a bit, then our decision to keep our kids at home. With these decisions and the pandemic, its forced things around the shop to change immensely. We want to say a massive THANK YOU to our customers for continuing to support our small business. Things are getting bus...ier by the day. While we strive to reply to messages as quickly as possible, CAM Fab has been swamped! Please stick with us as we work our way through all your enquiries. Cheers guys.....keep supporting local businesses

10.01.2022 Another set of NP300 rock sliders to help keep this nice ute protected, complete with our new laser cut mounts. We have NP300 available in rock slider or a flatter design for a step. Also available in dual cab length.

10.01.2022 Gotta love watching these things at work.

08.01.2022 We are still looking for our newest team member! Please view our employment post and send your resume and cover letter to [email protected]

08.01.2022 With a massive thanks to Fatz Fabrication, we have once again upgraded our ability to provide for the ever growing offroad racing scene by purchasing their Canam x3 roll cage and brace kit designs and jigs. This will allow us to provide a stock to race ready service and also replacement parts and panels for existing units. Cant wait to put this setup to work!

06.01.2022 The little red truck from Redneck racing has been in getting some love in the form of 12 triples and our new shock mount system in the front end. Steve and Pete have been running our stickers for many years so it was great to finally get the truck in the shop and help them out.

06.01.2022 The last thing you want is a leaking fuel tank in the floor cavity of a boat. Out with the old and in with the new

02.01.2022 Raise the roof 100mm.... sounds simple hey... till everything is connected to the roof! As you’ll notice in the cad drawings we do up for pre approvals from CAMS and AASA complete with updates to suit current regulations, red was removed and replaced with the green. It was a pleasure to be able to help the guys out and know they will be safe and have the appropriate head clearance.
