Pulled straight from a 1972 International Load Star, this one-of-a-kind valve cover lamp isn’t just lighting it’s history lit up. I took the raw, rugged soul of a working-class legend and gave it a second life that demands attention.
Each piece is cleaned up but never stripped of its scars because the dents, wear, and patina? That’s the character you can’t fake. The valve cover is mounted on a solid base and fitted with a warm bulb to bring just the right glow to your garage, office, or man cave.
This isn’t mass-produced. This is hand-built, gearhead-approved metal art.
Ironwood Garage started with a simple idea of building custom car show trophies. What began as a side project quickly turned into a full-blown metal shop for creating one-of-a-kind metal art. I handcraft every piece using salvaged car parts, tools, and raw steel, turning scraps into something unique and badass.From turbo clocks and exhaust manifold Bull heads to railroad spike crosses, custom CNC wall art and everything in between. Everything I make is built with creativity, craftsmanship, and a love for all things metal. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just want a custom sign and appreciate cool handmade pieces, I want my work to stand out and start conversations.I’m beyond grateful for anyone who chooses to support what I do—whether you buy something, share my work, or just take the time to check it out. If you’re looking for something custom, hit me up—I’d love to bring your idea to life.
