Sunday in the shed.

Here's the learn-something part.

Pinholes in your filler aren't bad luck. They're a mixing problem. Fold it, don't whip it. Whipping puts air in, and the air comes back as pinholes when you block.
Hardener is a line across the blob, not a puddle. And filler only sticks as well as what's under it: 80 grit to bare metal, wax and grease remover, then mix.

GEARHEAD TIP: AN fittings seal on the flare, not the thread.

Don't wrap PTFE tape around AN flare threads. The seal happens on the 37° flare face. The threads only pull the two faces together.

If it leaks, check the flare, alignment and damage first. Don't just keep tightening it. Cranking an alloy fitting galls the threads or cracks the flare, and then you're up for a new fitting.

Pro tip: a light smear of oil on the threads and flare helps it seat clean without galling.

(NPT adapter threads are different. Those seal on the thread and do need sealant.)

Clean fittings. Proper seal. Better plumbing.

Anyone who's pulled a door off a VB–VL knows those hinge pins fight you.

Punch slips, hinge cops a hiding, and you're touching up paint for the rest of the day.

This fixes that. Hook it on the pin, a few hits with the slide weight, and it comes out straight. No flogging, no damage.

I use it on my own builds and in the shop.

Now it's on the site if you need one.

Not every panel is flat — so why use the same applicator for everything?

The Melomotive Filler Applicator range gives you the width, flexibility and profile to follow the panel instead of fighting it.

Reverse curves, larger areas, tighter shapes — get the filler closer to the shape you want before you start sanding.

Less rework. Better control. Cleaner bodywork.

Two ways to finish and protect a loom.

On this harness, one section is finished in our GearHead heat shrink braided sleeve, while the other uses our 4:1 dual wall heat shrink.

Both give a clean, protected finish — just with a different look and level of coverage depending on the job.

Simple details that make a harness look properly finished.

Some tools just make the job easier.

The Melomotive 9pc Spline Set isn’t just for filler work.

Use them through the metalwork stage to read and profile the panel, check highs and lows, and help keep the shape flowing before filler ever goes on.

Then use the different lengths and flexes to apply, shape and sand filler while following the panel’s natural form.

Better shape through the metalwork.
Better control through the filler.
Less sanding at the end.

A proper finish changes the whole build.

Car Builders TXT Coating gives you that tough, textured look while helping protect the areas that cop the abuse — wheel tubs, floors, underbodies, chassis sections and more.

It’s one of those products that can take an area from looking unfinished to looking like it was planned that way.

We keep Car Builders TXT Coating available through GearHead Supply Co. because it fits exactly what we want the range to be about — useful products for people actually building cars.

Real projects. Better results.

BEHIND THE BRAND | GEARHEADSUPPLYCO.

Years on the tools. Running a restoration shop. Working on my own projects and constantly running into products, tools and little solutions that made the job easier.

Some of those already existed.
Some were hard to find.
And some I ended up making myself.

That's what GearHead Supply Co. is — built from time on the tools, a passion for cars, and a drive to make quality gear more accessible for people who actually build them.

A place for parts, tools and products I'd genuinely use on my own cars — from brands I trust, alongside gear developed from problems I've actually hit in the workshop.

I'm building this around work, family and everything else life throws in. It isn't a massive operation pretending to be something it's not. It's a small Australian business being built properly — one product, one order, one project at a time.

Real projects. Useful products. No fluff.

**Parts for people who build cars.**

ARE U OK?

Cars, tools and projects give us plenty to talk about — but sometimes the conversation that matters most has nothing to do with what’s in the shed.

A quick check-in with a mate, coworker or family member can make a real difference.

You don’t need the perfect words. Just ask the question, listen properly, and give them the time to answer.

In the shed, at work or on the road — check in with your mates.

Prep is rarely the exciting part of a build — but it’s usually the part that decides how good the finish ends up.

From getting panels straight, to getting the right primer down, to having the right small tools on hand, the process matters.

We’ve been steadily building the GearHead Supply Co. range around products we’d actually want on the bench ourselves — including Resto Finish and Melomotive gear for restoration, refinishing and fabrication work.

No massive catalogue for the sake of it. Just useful gear for real projects.
