Gerry Coppleman - Owner<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Gerry started work with a large panel beating organization as an 18 year old. He learnt the industry by starting at the bottom and working his way up to having the knowledge he has now.<\/p>

In 1982 Gerry started his first panel beating shop repairing cars and trucks. Eventually he grew his business and built his first tow truck to expand his business.<\/p>

He was a spray painter by trade, he hired full time panel beaters and his journey began.<\/p>

Gerry\u2019s passion was quality repaints and his reputation as a spray painter was highly regarded in the industry. As Gerry was taught more about the panel side of the business he started restoring older cars.<\/p>

Gerry believes there is no better feeling than seeing an old tired car or truck brought back to its show room condition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2000, Wayne relocated to the Sunshine Coast where he\u00a0worked in a few panel shops before taking on management of Superior Body Works and later running North Coast Paint and Panel. <\/span><\/p>

He took a little break and bought two Car-groomer Franchise\u2019s on the coast, and worked them until they out grew him and sold them.<\/span><\/p>

His passion still revolving around cars, motorbikes and speed boats,\u00a0Wayne took a position at Classic Ridz in Caloundra and was back working with a variety of old and vintage cars including Street Machines and race cars. As this business went through some rocky management times he was working part time on vehicles at Totally Custom Restoration which led to an offer to work there full time and eventually buy into the business and expand it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Here we are years down the track and we are still fortunate enough to be working on restoring customers old cars, bikes, peddle cars and other old items such as fridges, retro casino machines etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
