When are you going to Thunderhill with Charley. I have 2 maybe 3 cars going to Nampa.



Sonoma race weekend is AUGUST 3rd/4th/5th (Sunday). Would be pretty dang close to BTucky... but only room for one car. Gwen will have the R8 to hit the wineries... and I'll have the Muttstang... Unless I can talk her into staying home... :>)

Well it has been a very busy past few months. The shop is packed with more work then we have probably ever had for what seems like some of the best customers on the planet. The 70 Chevelle was delivered to Scottsdale this past weekend for the owner to drive the car back to Las Vegas with his buddies. Nothing like a car seat in the front seat of a customers new car.



We have hired 3 new guys in the past 2 months and looking at hiring another here shortly. We have found a group of talented local guys lately that has worked out pretty well.

Ironworks purchased a High Def plasma table about a month ago to begin cutting parts in house. We are working on getting the table dialed in to cut different thickness to near laser quality. It is capable of cutting 2" steel.


Our line of Interior switches are getting out there. SEMA had 2 cars with our switches on display. We have sold the switches in 3 countries now. The Ring Brothers installed our switches in their Pantera project they had on display in the Royal Purple Booth.



Incase you have not heard My wife and I had our baby girl on Oct 7th. She is been an exciting and new chapter in our lives. Thanks to Grandpa Weld for the tool box.


We started on a 1957 Chevrolet that might be one of the most rust free 57's I have ever seen. The customer from Texas has had the car in his family since it was new. The car is getting an Ironworks Chassis, LS3 engine with a T56. The car will be a just a nice car with a very high end stereo to enjoy on the open road.




We are still working hammer down on the 66 Chevy Truck. We have done some really slick details on the truck. But I will save those for the build thread. Here are few overall pics to show the work done.





We are reshaping the back of the truck to carry the shape of the bed side around the tailgate of the truck.


We started the mock up of the engine in an old project that is getting back in the mix. I think this should do the trick.


Don't worry the upper control arms are for mock up only.

Your switches looked right at home in the RB Pantera.



I have a larger version of the image if you need.
