This last weekend i went the NHRA March Meets in Bakersfield, CA to watch the races. While i was there I meet Rodger, the owner of Ironworks. He was kind enough to offer my father and I to meet him at his shop after the races so i can check out some of his projects. I have been following his C6 56 truck build and I am a big fan of his work. So i was kind of excited to see everything. All i must say is DAMN!!!!! His shop was spotless, and HUGE. It was around 10k sqft. After talking with him for a few minutes i asked to see this infamous truck. It was a work of art. The pics that i have see on the internet don't do it justice at all. I could have spent all day checking out all the little things that he has done to the truck that i was never aware of him doing. WOW. I wanted it soo bad

. Then I checked out the 67 nova project. I have never was a big fan of the 67's but after checking out this one I seriously wanted to go out and purchase a 67. It was amazing. I don't think i can explain it to the level it is at so i am just going to say

. The coolest thing was that Rodger was so humble, modest and an overall great guy. If you guys ever get a chance to meet rodger and see his work i am sure you will be in awe just like i was. Anyways here are a few pics. Thanks Rodger for everything.

I'm jealous. I'd love to see that truck and John's Nova in person. I guess I'll have to wait until they are finished and make it to some shows.

I've said it every chance I get, so at the risk of sounding like a SUCKA$$ - Beautiful work!

Wow those are guys are creative, did you see that custom nerf bar on the ground mocked up next to the nova.

Thanks Josh It was nice meeting both you and your Dad. I hope to see you finish your project some day. Hopefully after mine, haha

I thought it was a step bar to help John get in! Sorry John, I couldn't help it!
