|
Kip Motor is housed in an 6,000 square foot metal building complete with car yard, service shop, restoration, parts manufacturing, machine shop, upholstery room, and administrative offices. |
|
Upon entering Kip Motor, you'll see Bob at the Front Sales Counter. |
|
|
Upstairs are the administrative offices, upholstery room, library, and conference room. Duke, our golden lab, comes to work every day! |
|
Admin offices for typical business stuff: phone system, fax, copier, and racks that hold finished upholstery and carpet sets (at left). |
|
|
Upholstery room with commercial sewing room hiding behind Sandy. Notice all the patterns hanging up on the walls. |
|
Kip Motor has a very extensive library of original shop manuals, part manuals, and owner manuals for nearly every antique British vehicle. |
|
|
Sample of shop manuals available to technicians in library. |
|
Factory shop manuals for nearly every make and model of British vehicles. |
|
|
Central Command office. Yes, there is a Kip. He's usually behind the scenes managing the company, parts inventory, parts production, and parts outsourcing. That's more than a full time job! |
|
This is my desk for marketing, event coordination, and web site content stuff plus special projects like AACA tours, BMTA conferences, and my favorite, All British & European Car Day! |
|
Back downstairs behind the front sales counter is order fulfillment and shipping. |
|
Our goal is to have the parts you need when you need. In some instances, they are backordered but should be available within 10 days. However, weather-stripping is one of those problematic parts as our supplier is not timely at all with our standing order. |
|
Our inventory is very comprehensive and is expanding daily. Shelf space is a concern. |
|
Parts are organized on the shelf using a modified GM inventory bin location system. There is a method to this madness! |
|
Entry to the shop from parts. Only employees are allowed into shop area. |
|
Metal Casting (Steve's area) where MET door handles, grille surrounds, and other chrome parts are made. |
|
|
The electrical and finishing bench for plastic part production and metal castings.
|
|
This is the electrical room where our craftsmen make plastic and rubber parts, wiring harnesses, emblems, and medallions. Our parts are made by hand. |
|
Machine shop used to remanufacture body parts in restoration projects, making Met panels, rocker sills, grille surrounds and countless other parts. See our PROCESS for details. |
|
This is our "virtual library" often referred to as "the Museum". These cars are used for patterns, technical questions, and reference material! |
|
This is our large part inventory i.e. windshields, body parts (fenders, doors, hoods, etc) and incoming bulk part purchases. | Shop floor area with current restorations underway. | |
