INTERIOR: Rides By Kam really knocked the cabin out of the
park. The dash and console are fibreglass items from The
Shop LLC in the USA, sprayed Candy Apple Red to match the
shell, while the seats are VE SS foams customised to make
four buckets, swathed in cream leather. The Billet Specialties
tiller has also been wrapped in cream leather to match. Kam
also installed the stereo system, with a Kenwood DVD source
unit and Hifonics speakers, subs and amp

’NATS LIFE: Ben took PH FAT back to Summernats 30 to
enjoy driving around. Unfortunately it didn’t quite go to
plan. “First lap and the original brake booster and master
cylinder packed it in,” he says. “We parked her up and that
was the weekend done, although I did get to limp around the
Supercruise, which still was a lot of fun”
