Ironworks Hauler is East bound for Colorado Goodguys.

[ironworks]

Well the big truck left yesterday on the way to Colorado. It was loaded down with 5 cars and a bunch of stuff. It has the new logo on the side and a brand new set of tires.

EAST Bound and Down.

We even were able to fit the packard in the back of the truck. It sits a little higher then most of our projects but the rear floor section is adjustable.

Kick ass Rodger! Logo looks great!! Congrats!!

[RPM HOTRODS]

BALLER!!!! I wish I had a truck driver. Heck I had to haul horse last week in mine to pay for it. Next you'll be in Nascar. AH, just kiddin looks killer man. Its a pain loading isn't it? Work Work Work thats all we do!!!! Can't wait to see it in person.

[ironworks]

It is amazing how much stuff I can put in the truck. 1 tri-5 frame, 1 67 camaro, one 67 Chevelle chassis, one 1955 Goodguys giveaway car, and one huge 1946 Packard. Plus a bunch of other crap.

Yesterday I got a phone call from a magazine editor that was headed to LA from Las Vegas and he saw the truck going the other way. I thought that was pretty cool.

I just wish I could get custom apportioned license plates that said "SOMEDAY". :D

[ccm399]

Any chance that bad boy will keep rolling East to GG Columbus????

[ironworks]

Yes Sir, we leave in 3 weeks for Des Moines and then Columbus.

[pokey64]

Man that thing looks like it's doing 100mph when it's sitting still! :thumbsup:

I'll look you guys up in Des Moines.

[elitecustombody]

Rodger, any plans to paint or wrap it black?

[ccm399]

SWEET!!!! Can't wait to see your work in person.

Rodger, any plans to paint or wrap it black?

Well my dream would be a black long nose pete with big chrome stacks pulling a long black trailer with probably the same logo on it. But the flames sure do get attention. On of my employee's and his dad are driving the truck currently and have told me it is like a car show where ever they stop. Most people could care less what's inside the trailer. The paint on the truck is not perfect and it does not need to be to serve it's purpose. But I might look at fixing some of those issues and slowing fixing it up some more. The truck came from South Carolina and has some small surface rust issues here and there. But as you can tell it is a really nice truck.

We should have a new awning canvas before Columbus.

[Cris@JCG]

Looks great Rdger! Congrates on the rig..

[Stuart Adams]

Looks great. Glad you are having fun big boy.

[CRCRFT78]

I would seriously consider quitting my job to drive a rig like that across country. Everything at work has always been old and beat by the time I got to drive it. Beautiful rig & trailer Rodger.

Mr. Baller. Just ask him how he's getting to Colorado.....if you can even get hold of him. First the publicist then the assistant, he'll call you back, blah blah blah, here's some gap spray...goodby. Now with this TLC thing I don't think he'll be posting much more.

Rodger, if you can read this, the truck came out nice.:thumbsup:

Wow!! the rig is awesome.Some guy's get all the cool stuff.:thumbsup: Scott M.

I'm just traveling with a local customer out to Colorado in the early am tomorrow. As a matter of fact it's a customer and fellow lat-g member who happens to enjoy Italian food like myself. :D

It's "okay"..... if that's what you're in to.



Don't get too used to the "jet set" style DB.... lest the rest of us can't hang with you and the big baller lifestyle.:lol:

Nothing like friends to spill the beans for ya. I guess I will have to post pics in the morning.

[wiedemab]

Nice Rig! Way to step up.

I can't wait to check it out at Columbus.

[HWY Nova]

I can't wait to see these pics!..... Apparently, several Lat-g members (Mr. Weld, Mr. War,....) know how Rodger is getting to Colorado. He is "on his way" as I write this. I'm sure Rodger will post pics soon.

I did hear from Rodger that the Ironworks Hauler arrived at the Goodguys event site early evening yesterday.



--Eric

[HWY Nova]

First he gets an awesome Hauler..... Now what???!?!?? A CORPORATE JET??!! Geez......

Check it out:

Can he even fit in that thing? Looks like he would have to crawl on his belly to get to his seat. Should have bought the G6.

I heard the jet mechanics had to add a "Gurney Bubble" so Rodger could sit in a seat.

[James OLC]

Way to tough it out big man!

[ironworks]

Well it was pretty cool. We left bako at about 6am and landed at loveland's little airport at just after 9 am mountain time. 2 hours of flight time. I wanted to thank my customer for allowing us to arrive in style. And in a super conveinent manner. Hopefully you enjoy your first goodguys show this weekend. Good luck in the autocross with my camaro. Dont get beat by a girl.

[Flash68]

Love the rig.

Now I can tell others I've met you and have been to your shop before an admission fee was charged.

[ironworks]

Dave, apparently you have already forgotten about the F16 fly byes, twice. You know how we roll.

Dude, you are pimpin!:D Rig looks great.:thumbsup: Flannel in a leer jet. What are you, Larry the cable guy?

[ErikLS2]

Since you're obviously not hurting, I'll take that $1.75 your owe me now!

[toddshotrods]

Sweet rig! :thumbsup: Can't wait to see it and your work here in Columbus. :yes:

Hmmm, I could curl up in a corner and bum a ride back to Cali - they'd never know I was in there! :lol:

[GregWeld]

I can't believe ANYONE from CALIFORNIA would have lilly white legs like that and actually have the balz to wear shorts....

Rig is a reflection of all we have had a chance to see coming out of Ironworks..... AWESOME!

Lead.

[Ron Fox]

Congrats Rodger! Rig looks good. Have fun.

Maybe next May you could drive it here to GG Nashville.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Looking good Rodger

He can't hear you over the roar of the jet engines... :rofl:

[Bowtiguy]

Best looking Rig at the Colorado Nats! I left my camera at home this year figuring that I'd seen it all and my cargo short pockets were full enough slipping into the sparco seats in my C6Z.

I was wrong. The rig looked great and your young helper answered questions very well on your new tri-5 chassis I was eye balling for my 57 Nomad. If I knew you were there I would have stuck around.

Have a great end to the show today ( sunday) and a safe trip back. I'll be in touch:thumbsup:

[ironworks]

Well the guys with white legs was Brycen's Dad. he came out to drive the truck out to the first show. He has been driving for like 30 years.

Yes Brycen knows his stuff. He has been around helping us build these for a while also.

We may have met also, I remember a guy talking about a chassis for nomad on Saturday afternoon, That Brycen said had been around a few times looking over our frames.

If I could have worked out sometime I would have given you a ride in the Giveaway Car. We drove that car all over Loveland this weekend, Even to Lowes for some extension cords.

[ironworks]

And finally a picture from Sunday afternoon. I may never get to travel in this mode of transport again. But let me tell you about how much of a time saver this is. We met at my shop on Thursday at 5:30am, we drove around the corner from my shop to a back gate at the airport. We were in the air just before 6am. We landed in Loveland at just a little after 8 am. Since Loveland is a small airport, all commercial planes have to land in Denver, Over an hour away. We were at the show for set up at 8:45. Usually I'm already exhausted when you have traveled for hours just to get somewhere.

Then on Sunday, We began booth tear down at 3pm, we were done and on and at the airport at 4:20. We were in the air at 4:30. We landed at just before 6pm and I was home at about 6:10. Even on at close to home show like Pleasanton I'm not home till at least 10pm.

I just want to publicly thank my customer for the fun time hanging out this this weekend and also Thank them for the help in the booth this weekend. Plus allowing us to use what seems like a time transport to get to and from. Thanks again I hope you guys had a nice weekend getaway.

[Ricochet]

Good times Rodger! Glad to hear the weekend was a success and you had better weather than we had here!

The weather was pretty much perfect until 3pm Sunday, when we had to tear down at 5000 ft elevation and temp was 92 degrees. but it was t-shirt and short weather all weekend. And 3rd place in the auto cross is not bad for my first try at peanut autocrossing.

Ok enough of the airplanes!!

Just cause the sites name is Lateral-G dosen't mean you have to keep posting airplane pics :woot:

Pretty cool to see you flying like "PIMP" :cheers:

[FaBrycation]

It was good to meet people in Colorado! We are just getting back on the road in nephi Utah after driving 540 miles last night til about 3 am. just had denny's now merging on I-15 toward Vegas! Be home about 9 tonight!

I was pretty proud of myself running the shop camaro a few times when Rodger took a break. It was my first time ever driving it other than on and off of the trailer and my fastest time was only a second and 3 tenths behind the winner which was a 30.9 mine was 32.2

[ironworks]

Here are a few pics of the new truck set up at the show.

We should have our "NEW" awning at Columbus.

[Ricochet]

Sweet set up Rodger! What is wrong with the awning? Let me guess? Color? Going Black?

What was Rodgers best time?
Rodger's been slacking on iracing. He probably is rusty behind the wheel, now that he has chauffeurs and pilots flying him around.

My time was 31.9 I got 3rd place over all I think. I know it was 3rd place in the vendors.

I have not been on I racing in months. I have not had time to even get cable TV set up yet. Just way to busy. I guess I could rent you my high dollar pedals for a few months.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm faster than you with out them fancy billet pedals.

Yeah you say that, But it never seems to work out that way.

I bet when I come out of retirement I will smoke you still. Maybe not in the Girl car you like to drive. But I guarantee in the prototype and C6R I will smoke your ass just like the good ol days.

[c10addict]

I heard "The Roadster Shop" boys are flying in to Columbus in the Stealth Bomber.. Might have to step it up Rog!

[GregWeld]

Maker sure the new awning has the Ironworks logo on it -- I noticed right off the bat from the pics - you can't tell what company is on display vs the other side of the truck that's screaming the name like it should!


What a baller.... big azz ballin' 18 wheeler - Citation jets... trick cars... If only I was taller I'd be a baller...

Thanks for blowing our grand entrance a-hole!

Wait until you see our new display, we are laying the truck and trailer over on its side to show off all the work we have done underneath it. (Kendal is driving for us, so getting it tipped over should be pretty easy... just gotta make sure all the turkeys are gone by the time the show opens!)

[Roadster Shop]

I gotta say, pretty impressive Rodger.. 2,500 views on a thread about you going to a car show. Most can't get that many on a car build thread!:D

Nice looking rig though. That thing should make a big impact at the shows and be a whole lot nicer to drive than a dually with a trailer. You got in at the perfect time with the fuel prices too!
