Panel Beater

WE’RE HIRING — QUALIFIED PANEL FABRICATOR

CLASSIC • MUSCLE • HISTORIC MOTORSPORT

Dromana | Full-Time Permanent | 4-Day Week

At WD Autobody & Restorations, we don't just repair cars.

We revive history.

We’re looking for a fully qualified Panel Fabricator to join our team in Dromana, someone who has already built their skills within the classic car, muscle car, restoration or historic motorsport world and wants to put those skills to work on some seriously special vehicles.

From Australian muscle and American icons to cherished classics and historic race cars, our workshop is about quality craftsmanship, precision and doing things properly.

️ THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL PANEL SHOP

You won't be spending your days repairing the same insurance jobs over and over.

At WD, you'll be working on restorations, custom fabrication and one-off projects where your skill and craftsmanship genuinely matter.

Your work may include:

• Custom panel fabrication and metal shaping
• Reconstructing and repairing original panels
• Rust repair and structural metalwork
• Classic and muscle car restoration
• Historic race car and motorsport fabrication
• Chassis and body repairs
• Custom modifications and one-off fabrication
• Tubbing and wheel-well fabrication
• Working with original and factory-correct specifications
• Precision fitting, shaping and finishing
• Bringing tired, damaged and forgotten cars back to life

Our projects range from ground-up restorations to historic race cars, muscle machines and unique custom builds — so no two projects are the same.

WE WANT A CRAFTSMAN — NOT JUST A TRADESMAN

We're looking for someone who:

️ Is fully qualified in panel beating / automotive body repair
️ Has genuine experience in classic, muscle, restoration and/or historic race cars
️ Has strong panel fabrication and metal-shaping skills
️ Can confidently work from original panels, measurements, templates and specifications
️ Has an exceptional eye for detail
️ Takes genuine pride in their workmanship
️ Understands the importance of originality, accuracy and structural integrity
️ Can work independently and as part of a passionate team
️ Has a “can do” attitude and isn't afraid of a challenging project
️ Loves cars — because let's be honest, you'll need to!

WHY WD?

We're a family-owned restoration business based in Dromana, built on generations of automotive passion and craftsmanship.

With more than 50 years of combined experience, we've developed a reputation for restoring classic cars, muscle cars and historic motorsport vehicles with the care, precision and respect they deserve.

Our workshop is about more than fixing cars.

It's about preserving history, celebrating craftsmanship and creating something we're proud to put our name on.

You'll be surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do, working alongside a team that shares the same passion for cars, fabrication and restoration.

️ WORK ON THE CARS YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WORK ON

If you're an experienced fabricator who wants to move beyond repetitive smash repair work and spend your days creating, shaping, restoring and fabricating, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Imagine starting your day working on a classic Aussie muscle car, moving onto a historic race car, then finishing the week fabricating a one-off panel for a car that hasn't been on the road for decades.

That's WD.

We’re looking for someone who sees a piece of rusty metal and thinks:

“I can bring that back.”

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
