Metal of Honor Roadster
The Metal of Honor Roadster is a 1932 Ford Roadster built through the IronMen Foundation as a donated-parts project with a mission behind it. Finished in olive drab with a hand-painted digital camo graphic, it stands as a rolling tribute and a reminder of what the automotive community can do when it pulls together for something bigger.

A 1932 Ford Roadster Built With Purpose
Built entirely from donated parts, the Metal of Honor Roadster became a national collaboration centered on honoring service and helping families. During an extensive U.S. tour, the vehicle was signed by 43 holders of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and it was later auctioned at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2012 for $150,000.

The Mission Behind Metal of Honor
The IronMen Foundation created this project to support scholarships for the children of slain and disabled warriors. The Roadster became a way to turn craftsmanship and community participation into real, lasting support, with contributors across the automotive world donating parts, labor, and expertise to bring the build to life.
IEDLS’s Contribution
IEDLS contributed an aluminum driveshaft to the Metal of Honor build, and the detail that stands out most is how it threaded through the entire project.
“Interestingly, Inland Empire Driveline’s aluminum drive shaft was the first component donated to the project and the last one installed.” – Chuck Caswell, Director, IronMen Foundation
The Metal of Honor Roadster reflects the kind of work we respect most, careful planning, quality parts, and people showing up for each other. That same attention to detail is what we bring to everyday builds, restorations, and custom driveline setups.
