What happens here

Efficient management of specialized parts and a robust machining capability are crucial. The shop maintains a vast inventory of rare and hard-to-find components, such as X-Trac internal parts for C&R race transmissions (acquired from a defunct supplier). For custom metal parts or modifications, the machine shop is equipped with industrial lathes and mills, allowing for precision fabrication. While large-scale fabrication might be outsourced, smaller custom jobs like trimming or minor modifications can be performed in-house.

Goal: Source and fabricate specialized and custom parts for the vehicle build.

The same thing with our rear our gear inventory. This
