Andy Palmer / Palmer Coachworks LLC

Andy Palmer / Palmer Coachworks LLC Andy Palmer Born and raised in Wellington, New Zealand and after completing a 9000 hour apprenticeship in sheetmetal engineering, metal shaping and forming.

I moved to Los Angeles, CA in 1986. Upon arrival, I worked on certain hotrods and with designers on concept cars for most of the late 1980’s. During that time, I learned more about shaping and continued to develop the skill of forming aluminum and various metal car bodies. In the 1990’s, I became involved in restoring old Ferraris, Masarti's, Lamborghini's and Cobras with some of the older craftsmen of the 1950’s. In 1995 I opened a little shop in Bellflower, CA / Palmer Coachworks where I build and restore Ferrari bodies for the 1960’s, customize Rolls Royces, and build Cobras for the likes of Shelby, Aston Martins among other exotic cars such as Chaparrals, Iso Grifo's, ATS’s, Lancia's, Zagato's, Montverdi's and Jensen's. I have also done body and paint work for the GT Class at Pebble Beach and taken 1st place.

Slowly, cutting away the metal body and replacing it with the aluminum body. I don’t need any fancy wooden buckets I do everything with my artistic eye and vision , if it looks right to the naked eye it’s right.
