2 WORLD S LARGEST MANUFACTURER OF CHEVROLET RESTORATION PARTS There s No Comparison TO CHEVROLET Chevrolets have been a part of Danny and Art Danchuk s life since the 1950 s. Both boys, Danny and Art, followed their father s footsteps into the tool and die business, as well as acquiring his appreciation for Chevy s. In 1956, when this photo was taken, they had no idea that 60 years later they would still be reaping the benefits from the skills and hard work that he instilled into them. The Danchuks love of auto restoration prompted an entry into the world of Chevy reproduction parts in The initial response was so overwhelming, they directed all their energy into manufacturing only 55, 56 and 57 Chevy parts, and have been going strong ever since. Danchuk is now the world s largest manufacturer of Chevrolet restoration parts. We achieved this title by bringing you parts that are superior to both the originals and all other reproductions on the market today. We take pride in producing parts that look better, fit better, last longer, are made in the United States of America and, of course, are competitively priced. In August of 2019 we will sponsor the 5th Annual Danchuk Tri-Five Nationals in Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Every year has been bigger and better than the previous year with more than 2,000 cars (Tri- Fives only) congregating upon Beech Bend for 3 days of all things Tri-Five.... car show, swap meet, drag racing, vendors and, of course, a chance to win the Tri-Five giveaway car. We sincerely hope every owner has a chance to make this event at least once. We are so proud and excited to be part of such a great event, and are truly grateful for all that make the trek to Kentucky!!

7 MANUFACTURING 1976 There s one word that truly separates us from the rest manufacturing. Without our manufacturing department, we d be just another distributor. Over the last four decades, starting with the Danchuk brothers and their dad, Danchuk Manufacturing has perfected the art of tool, die and parts manufacturing. THE DESIGN The design process is as important as any other step. If the design is off, the tooling and part will surely not be right. We start with a perfect fitted and tested original part and from there we start down the long road to the manufacturing of the tooling. Whether we are making a complex multiple step stamping die tool like the 55 & 56 grills or cutting a precision cavity in a piece of solid steel to produce a Class-A injection mold to make parts like the 57 grille bar, we start the process the same. Once we are sure we have a perfect original, we reverse engineer the part using various measuring systems. The measurements are then transformed into a three dimension model using the latest CAD software. We then use this model to design the tooling that will reproduce the original part. TOOLING Our tooling facility combines the technology of brand new state of the art machinery and classic old school set-ups. When duplicating a 60 year old part, many times the absolute best way to make a tool is with vintage technology. By combining modern CNC s with manual mills, lathes, grinders and a whole assortment of other machines and tools we can achieve the end result in our tooling that will allow us to manufacture the best quality American made parts possible. MATERIALS Once the tooling is finished, but before the manufacturing can begin, we start with the best materials available. We use only top quality steel, virgin zinc for our castings, virgin plastic for our lenses and the best rubber compounds there are. It is because of our high standards for materials that all of our parts are of a superior quality. It is impossible to achieve consistent quality in plating with inferior metals or expect longevity in quality with cheap plastics or rubber. MANUFACTURING If you think the design and tooling is complex, time consuming and intricate, you should follow the birth of a part through the manufacturing process. Just like tooling, we believe the best way to control and achieve the quality that our customers have come to expect is by keeping as much of the manufacturing in-house as possible. That is why our manufacturing facility includes machinery like 300 ton stamping presses, plastic injection machines, stud welders, a paint booth and all the basics like mills, lathes, drill presses and the like. Manufacturing is the largest department in the company and uses over 16,000 square feet of our 86,000 square foot facility to function efficiently. QUALITY CONTROL Once the parts are done in manufacturing, we move them on to our highly trained quality control department where they are tested and inspected for perfection in both fit and appearance. We take the inspection of our parts very seriously and we think it shows in the end products. MADE IN THE USA We think these American classics deserve American-made reproduction parts. We are proud to offer parts that are made in our Santa Ana, California facility by employees that appreciate the beauty of these cars and all the parts that make them classic.

9 MANUFACTURING 2019 A lot has changed in 40+ years of manufacturing, but the dedication to making the best Tri-Five Chevrolet parts hasn t wavered. Our committment to manufacture the best quality parts at a competitive price, we believe is the reason we re still standing after 40 years. OUR GROWTH The popularity of the hot rodding industry, TV shows that promote the hobby, trade shows like SEMA and of course the absolute genius of the Chevy design have all helped to make these classics even more popular than they were 40 years ago. These things have made the value of Tri-Fives skyrocket which has helped support our growth even through the toughest of economies. The need for quality parts has allowed us to continue the research and development of much needed, hard to find parts. OUR SELECTION The number of different parts we manufacture today is more than we could have ever imagined. As the years go by, we become more aware of the parts that are in need and we continue to add to our ever-growing list. After 40 years in business we are proud to say we are hands-down the World s Largest Manufacturer of Chevrolet Restoration Parts by offerng more than 1,000 different reproduction parts specifically for Chevrolets. OUR QUALITY In an ever changing world, where some companies are looking for ways to make their products for less, Danchuk is proud to say that our quality has only gotten better over the years. As we ve fine tuned tooling, become more proficient in manufacturing and with the idea that practice makes perfect, we are confident our quality is better now than years ago. OUR METHODS Technology has changed so much over the past 40 years. We have been able to take advantage of some advances in manufacturing, but realize some tried and true methods are still the best way to manufacture certain parts. Combining older and newer manufacturing techniques gives us the best of both worlds. OUR COMMITTMENT We want every part that ships from Danchuk Manufacturing to completely satisfy our customer and/ or dealers - our reputation depends on it. If a part is not absolutely flawless, then we will consider it a second. At our Annual Seconds Sale, these parts are offered at drastically reduced prices, many times with flaws that are barely noticeable. And we will gladly price match. Anytime an exact part is offered in print or online for less somewhere other than Danchuk, just bring it to our attention and we will gladly match the price. OUR GRATITUDE We would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support, inspiration and input. It is through your needs and suggestions that we decide which project to take on next, so please continue.
