Since the age of fifteen Andy Culpin has been chopping up cars and modifying them, and it wasn’t his fault, it’s in his genes, he was born with it. His father was an engineer with his own shop and his brothers were both panel beaters and auto electricians. He was surrounded by cars being repaired, prepped and modified and it obviously had a lasting effect.

Andy has now been in the industry for thirty years, fifteen of those with Race FX, and has been involved in more race cars than most in the industry. At a race meeting at Whenuapai of which there were 280 entrants he noted he had either built or been involved in the construction of 238 of the cars there. He has built up, restored and modified every car imaginable from Ferraris to Porches, Bentleys, Ford Escorts, Jags, Holden Monaros, Datsuns, Lamborghinis, Pre ‘65s, Targa Cars, Muscle cars, Rods and the list goes on.
