Last Wednesday we left for Pleasanton to do the Goodguys West Coast nationals. What a great show. We took the Donkey kong car up to show off out Hot Rod Fab parts brackets before they were covered up by all the interior parts and the very nice paint work from Palmer's Customs. We also showed our project 57 Chevy on it's new chassis. I also drove the Packard up and back. We put some 200 miles on it each way. It's fun to pass people in that car at 75. They just can't imagine a big ass car like cruising at 80 mph down I-5 in the middle of no where.

The booth was packed all weekend and Business was good. It was nice meeting all the fellow Lat-g guys.

That's a really nice looking setup you have Rodger. Very nice!

What fab brackets are you talking about in the DK camaro? A new production part or custom only?

Goodguys Best new suspension product at Columbus
 

I also forgot to mention that at Columbus this summer we were honored to be awarded the Goodguys Best New product in the Suspension, Tires, Wheels and Brakes category with out new Tri-5 chassis. That is a huge category and there are some really nice products in the category. We are really proud to come out on top with that award.

Why isn't there an Ironworks logo on the LARGEST PLACE to be seen --- the top of the awning??

Every time I see photos I wonder the same thing.

Nice AWARD!

We have been selling all kinds of different parts to help the home builder with some parts that are tricky to mount in a car with brackets we have laser cut and in a larger quantity to sell them and use them on the various cars we are building or fabricating. We sell tons of LS1 and LS2-9 ECU brackets. Guys can trim and fit the bracket fr use however or where ever you want to place your parts.

We sell an ECU bracket that has an add on side plate to mount the factory fuse panel. We also sell the ECU bracket by itself. 40 bucks for the ECU, 20 for the add on.

We have been selling a bolt in gas pedal bracket for the DBW pedal in 67-69 camaros. 40 bucks (I don't seem to have a pic of one installed, but you can see it here bolted to our display cart when I was layout the product description.)

We are just about ready to sell our Bolt in 3 point seat belt kits. We just finalized the brackets in the Donkey Kong car for the front seat belts. I should have some pics of this next week, It's pretty slick. I'm not sure on pricing just yet.

Because the only reason you can even see the top of that awning is because I took the picture. I could not see the reasoning for another 2K to put my logo up there. That damn awning was like 5500 bucks as it is.

What about a blimp or ball?

That would be a more effective locator at the shows.

Thanks for the info Rodger. I will need the e brake bracket and am very interested in the seat belt system too. Is that something the can be adapted to a second gen easily, or a first gen only item?

Congrats on the award!

well not only that but the lettering on the side is hard to read, you can only see the bottoms of the letters.

I know that its probably a shade or shadow thing but, you have to think about how it will be seen in photos or in magazines. For instance a photographer could be taking a picture of a car close by, but your awning makes it into the photo, it gets put in a magazine but you can't read it, you missed another opportunity to get your name or logo out there.

Just my .02

THANK YOU! EGG ZAKETLY!
