Yep,nice job on the Corolla show

Man I had no idea I had been holding out on an update on this thread since last August. Time sure does fly.

We have been pretty busy on a lot of different levels. We got out paint booth up and running and have done pretty good job with the mid level paint work we have funneled through there to get used to having the booth in the shop.

We painted 3 Porsche GT3 cup cars for a Lemans team based out of a shop down the street from our shop.

We are knocking out a paint job for a local guy trying to build a pretty nice Chevelle in his garage. It's looking pretty nice. We are now color sanding and buffing the car.

Our offroad racing program has been going pretty well. We have raced 2 BITD races and finished both events. Kyle Newman of Newman Car Creations has been co-driving and we are looking forward to running the MINT 400 in March.

We are the car at the top of the hill.

The has been ton of fun. I found this old plumbing trailer on Craigslist and we did some mods to it and it works pretty good as a base camp pit vehicle.

The Ironworks Interior switch line has been doing quite well. Alot of high profile builds have used our switches. The Miranda Built Nova that won Street Machine of the Year had our switches.

The Ring Brothers Recoil and Pantera projects had our switches also.

We have developed a new part to make the install much easier. Its always easier to drill a round hole but a square or rectangular hole can be tricky. So we Laser cut a plate that has all combinations of switches people order to cut this piece of steel out to welding to their dash. So far it makes things much easier.

We are currently working on some billet bezel surrounds that we go around these switch distance layouts to add some more style to the whole package. And as you can see in the picture we have a brand new style switch cover that looks like the aircraft safety cover when painted or coated red.

For more info on the switches go to our website.

Glad to hear you guys are staying busy and having fun, Rodger. Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks

Good stuff! Saw the cv's for your UTV come through my work. Glad you're enjoying the desert racing.

Yeah we have figured out the only way to get the grease to live in these cars is to REM polish the inside. It does wonders. now we just have to figure out the correct amount of grease so they don't want to burp the grease out under temperature. But have enough to keep the CV greased well enough.

Thanks. I will have another set for you guy here shortly.

heres what i did with mine.and they light up too.these switches are awesome.i had to redo my console from scratch so i could actually use these once i came across them.i kinda borrowed the style of a ford gt bezel that is cnc'd from white acrylic ,masked and sprayed and back lit with led's.

what did you guys do to the motors in your side by sides Rodger?

great idea.
