You'll get a hint of it from the underside! Here's how we decided to show it off:





Like this you will be able to see the beautiful framework the guys did from underneath!

Hi John,

I was in SoCal this week and took the opportunity to stop by Ironworks and meet Rodger and peek at the projects in the shop. You are in great hands my friend !! A super nice guy with a sincere passion to build off-the-hook projects for his customers - and a great crew of highly skilled craftsmen providing TLC to deliver. It was obvious they truly love doing this work and it shows in the quality of your Nova. The pictures just don't do justice to how sweet this thing is in person and I was fortunate to see it in progress. To get to build a dream car like this - and to get the opportunity to work with a group of people who give their absolute best is very difficult to find in todays world. You're a lucky guy and we can't wait to see what the Ironworks team can do. BTW, bring your checkbook because artwork like this costs major coin !

Rodger, THANKS for staying late and sharing your car buildiing passion with another garage dog ! My brain was smoking trying to process all the cool ideas and fab on the truck and nova. Your hospitality was greatly appreciated boss man. All the best !!

Champs BBQ just gets me talkin and you even had you work pay for dinner and beer. I was shocked you drove 3 hours oneway just to look at the projects we are building. It was nice talking to ya, I may take you up on the indy offer someday.

Do it! As Garage Dog said, when you see all the other things going on there in person you will be blown away! Everyone that is on that crew are masters of their trade! There are so many great things going on there that, honestly, your head will be spinning when you leave! It will do one of two things. It will either get you so revved up that when you get home you'll immediately start wrenching on your car or you'll leave amazed but disgusted because you know you could never do what they do as well as they do it! Probably both!

I really feel that Ironworks is going to be the next big thing as far as car builders. Rodger Lee has been the driving force in the build and in helping me realize the realities of building a car of this caliber. It's because of the Ironworks boys in general, and Rodger in particular, that this car has been able to hit the level it is at and, hopefully, where it will go!

First rounds on me Ironworks!

Blasting through the canyons back up into the high desert in a GTO rental - tends to clear out your head...

Indy anytime, beers already on ice ! Catch you in Columbus.

UNfortunately, My DD is a '61 Ford T-Bird so I don't really get to blast through the canyons but definitely a beautiful drive!!!
