About this blog
We hope to update this Blog with useful bits of information as we prototype new products and add to our catalog of parts.... please help us with questions and feedback!
many of you know, we make and sell metal air dams (or "chin spoilers") for the 2002 and other BMW models...with more products being developed and special projects in progress, hopefully this will give some insight into our latest endeavors and answer any questions.
Working in hotrod and custom car shops as a fabricator for most of my adult life, I've made a lot of "one-off" parts and have learned the hard way, through research, experiment, and seeking out experts in motorsport, design, metalshaping, casting, composites and automotive interiors. From working in a Porsche race-prep shop to custom car-audio shops...it has been a wild ride.
Transitioning from "project-based" to "product-based" is the evolution that brought about the "KoogleWerks" shop name and line of parts. Everything I produce is hand made, just like every original BMW 2002. Thoughtful design, symmetry, fit and finish all come into play when producing a new part. There are many old and new techniques and tools that I employ. Being brand or material-loyal is often a handicap. (Most "metal fabricators" don't want to touch fiberglass, plastics, or wood...and vice-versa.) I try to choose the best materials for the Job...and have the tools to work them. I'm sure pictures will explain better than words at this point...and I thank anyone who has spent the time to read this intro!
