Inside Detroit Speed: Making Muscle Car Suspension Parts & World Class Custom Builds!

What happens here

This building is dedicated to manufacturing. The tour begins in the shipping department, where finished parts are packaged in custom-made biodegradable 'expando' packing peanuts. Parts are serialized and tracked to ensure quality control and proper spring/shock rates for specific customers. From here, products are shipped to customers or warehouse distributors like Summit and Jegs.

Goal: Understand the initial stages of the manufacturing building, focusing on packing and shipping.

Tools and materials

  • Biodegradable Expando Packing Peanuts — Securing parts during shipping
  • Cardboard Boxes — Packaging products for shipment
