Holy Shmoly! Those look like they were CNC'd billet not fab'd from sheet metal. Amazing how precise and clean it is.

Scott, that would be one hell of a commute. Car is about finished with fab maybe I'll take the motorhome down south, sweep Rodgers floors and watch how it's really done.
Thanks everyone. No it's far from a riddler car or even a show car. Way to many talented shops out there for that stuff. This is just a driver I'm building and having fun with it. No schedule, deadline,or stress. I can change what ever or make whatever I want. My labor is free to me. I'm looking forward to the next step getting the car painted, put it together, fixing crap that doesnt work, and driving it.
Been thinking of building a Jeep next. Now that would put the wife over the edge.:rofl:

I think the aspect of this build that is so cool is the fact you have someone with the ability and the drive to tackle aspects like this. Most guys keeping those spring pockets in their camaro would never invest the time it takes to build those. I bet Jason has 10 -20 hours in just the one side he has done. In the real world that is $750-$1500 per spring pocket. Thats some coin. And unless a guy truely understands the effort it takes to build these kinds of details it is rarely happen in this industry. Very rarely does someone have the spare time or the funds to truely see something like this come together. I have had one customer in ten years that enjoys these details and understands and pays the money to see these kind of details. I joked with Jason yesterday about what will come of these parts more then just a powder coated jack point on the car. And he just laugh because he did these details because he can and enjoys the build probably more then the end result.
Jason if you don't send the car to paint soon. You will wind up changing things you already built and were at one time happy with.

I see you are using a lot of the Ironworks "Fabrication" spray again. This must be the new improved version of the spray as no one would be crazy enough (not even a former Hot Dog on a Stick mall employee) to make their own spring mounts. Can't wait to see what you do with the windshield wipers.

Very well said Rodger. This happens way too often. I am sure you get it as much as me and the next guy. Potential customers say "I like that and want it just like that". Then you explain what was done, how long it took and how much it will cost and they say "for that?". :willy:
I think its great that Jason has the ability to do it himself in his garage while his wallet stays on the nightstand. :thumbsup:

No this can't happen, your car is too much of a work of art to just be simply undercoated. Someone needs to step up and give this car a full body of paint that reflects the work you have done to it. I would if I had any bit of painting/body skill, but I don't.
Truly amazing car.

Okay not to be picky here.
Your welds look incredible and now the DSE Chassis welds well look incomplete and well.....
They are going to stand out like a sore thumb on your masterpeice. So you need to go back and fully weld the subframe without warping it of course.
ps - you created this Monster and it's all your fault
pss - This has got to be one of the coolest builds I have had the pleasure to watch.
psss - someone need to send these pictures to Poteet. He appreciates craftmanship and here it is people.

Can't say anything else that hasn't already been said! The attention to detail, execution, fitment, etc is as good as it gets! Still can't believe this is your first attempt at a car like this. Mad skills!! So, is it still going black? What about the underside color?

Just read the entire 64 pages. Words cannot describe how good the craftsmanship in this build is! If this is your first time doing this, you have an unbelievable talent! Where did you learn to fabricate? I would give an arm and a leg to be able to do the things you are doing!! I would love to learn how to do the type of builds/fabrication that's being done by yourself and others on this site.
Congrats to you on building a dream car and for having a great talent to do so yourself!!

Didn't care for the stock ones much so I picked up a pair from a Lexus IS350.
Hey Jason,
This is going back a while I know but do you happen to know the year these latches are? Or better yet are they cable type for the door handles? If they are cable did you have any issues connecting the cable to the outer door handle? I am sure it would not be too hard to fab up an adapter (especially for you!) just checking.
Thanks!

Chris, There 08's so any of the last generation ones would be the same I would assume. They do have cables for the interior and exterior but also looks like they can be electrically driven. Not sure yet, just got the harness and getting into that now. Maybe someone on here works as a Lexus tech and would know. It's not hard to adapt to the stock handle.
ccm399
11-06-2011, 10:05 AM
Thanks Jason.
I figured fabbing up something to adapt the cables to the old style would not be too hard. I found that the Lexus and Toyota latches seem to be interchangeable on certain years... Makes sense but it sure seem the Toyota stuff is cheaper.
I see where some of the very new stuff seems to be electric only, a little scary I guess. I don't know I just like the idea of being able to open the door without power.... Hmm, so did I mention I was going to be shaving my door locks? :rofl:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I have a question, How do you make all different metal impressions? I've made a few but, made a stamp for each. It looks like you have so many different sizes and shapes. Is their a another technique that I don't know about?

The tool he used to make those is called a bead roller. Here is a recent thread on the subject: Please explain how this metal forming technique is done! (http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=34805)

I wish that's all it was to it was to stamp metal. Then I'd buy a slew of stamps instead of learning the skill of using a bead roller. Jason, the owner of War, is the Michael Jordan of using a bead roller.

Sadly, the project is unfinished. You see, I am extremly short ( and have a very small penis) and am limited to only working on the parts of the car I can reach. However, after reading your post I am inspired to resume working on her again. Last night I rolled it back into the shop ( I don't date much) and started the process of unbolting the front spoiler. This work I could reach with ease and what a difference it made. I am now designing and fabricating an eloborate scaffold system around the car to begin the many exterior modifications I have planned.

Where did you get the tabs that secure your brake line to the chassis?

Hmm, front fender looks a bit wide. :hail:
( True story the guy listed it on Ebay for .99 cents and I was the only bidder so a friend of mine who lived around the corner from the seller picked it up for me )
Absolutely hilarious! On the build of all builds no less. That has the same impact on Jason's budget as stealing a penny from Jay Leno. :unibrow:

"Down-low is an African American slang term that refers to a subculture of men who usually identify as heterosexual, but who have sex with men; some avoid sharing this information even if they have female sexual partner(s)."

Well Jason if you and your shop get lonely with your camaro gone just shoot me a pm and I will bring my car to your shop. I would hate to let those skills go to waste. Not far away just up in Lincoln. Saw this car at Marquez's shop a few years ago and it looked great then. Very nice work. Wish I was that talented.

Here is a Pic from the BBQ that I took. It shows the passenger side of Jason's car that has been widened 2". It is a huge amount of work to pull this off properly but it looks amazing in the fact you really can't tell.

Please thank Brycen for allowing me to stick weld the door piece on. I forgot that chipping the flux off with the pick end of the body hammer might dimple it a bit but a little mud work and it'll be fine.

Then start posting them up. You don't want to end up like that shop in Florida that tells you about a build and it becomes one of them "Silent-Picture" threads. boring !!!
Way to much Talk-Talk lets get down to business and start promoting what you guys do ( which is what got your name out there in the fist place ) and post some pictures.

In fairness to the builder and customer, maybe they don't want to much posted...... (yet).
The process that Ironworks uses to alter the fenders and quarter panels take a lot of knowledge and talent. There is always the fine line of showing your work vs. teaching everyone else how to do it. Always a tough decision.

Would it be possible to get an angle shot looking right down the side, from the front to rear or rear to front, just to show the extra width?

Yep I heard that from Rodger first hand. Still saying how many people actual go watch the "Unfair" project on the other site. Might end up being a great car but in the end it will come and go and not do much for the Marketing of the shops talent and ability.
That is unless he has more work then he can handle right now. In today's world people want to see what your doing. Just think how much the BB forums have hurt magazine circulation. Most people on the boards want to see what shops are capable of. Perfect example is Rad Rides they let people walk around the shop take pictures fof work in progress and even tell people what they are doing and how they are doing it. Trust me I watched them stetch Poteets car and there work is incredible.
When people walk into a shop - anyone shop and take pictures they may not be a potential customer but someone may see the pictures they posted and say maybe these guys know what they are doing and head over to the shop.
Sorry to say Marketing these day's occurs on the internet more then most people think and pictures speak "LOUD" and text bores the **** out of people. You can tell me all day long that you did this and that and it's just bench racing.
Hype the car and the shop as much or as little as the shop owner wants it's Rodger shop but i think he is straying away from what made Ironworks what it is today.
Look at the Truck - how many magazines was it in. That is how you get customers. People want to be associated with shops like this.
ps - heck rodger is the leading poster in " Post your pics and links to inspirational fabrication work "

You can see the dimension that the door was pulled in relation to the fender.
