In 1974 Our first Wiring Harness for Street Rods was
introduced. That system was basic, by the standards RON FRANCIS
is known for today. It did, however, meet Ron's goals and
served to prove that a
wire system could be offered in kit form for the
do-it-yourselfer. We began to make wiring solutions
painless at RON FRANCIS. Many of the original
kits are still in service today!
WIRE WORKS, was founded in 1974, and is a result of over 30 years of
experience in wire systems for street rods and developing electrical products
directly for street rod applications. Having attended the first NSRA
Street Rod National in Peoria in 1970 and being one of the first 100
members of the National Street Rod Association (#90), Ron Francis is
aware what help fellow Rodders can use with what is often the least
understood phases of street rod construction ... the wire system.
Over the years the WIRE WORKS systems have gone through constant
re-design to incorporate the latest technology in both circuitry and
materials, so that the system is compatible with the latest in
automotive trends. Today's EXPRESS PANEL, the Dimension II,
system is just as suitable for a state-of-the-art, high-tech street
rod with all of the modern electrical accessories as it is for one
with just the basic equipment. And, because the current EXPRESS
PANEL system has been designed with provisions for a full array of
electrical accessories, it will not be a problem to add them at a
future time. This philosophy is carried over to everything at the
WIRE WORKS from something as simple as a toggle switch to the
insulation on the wires themselves.
RON FRANCIS sells more than the EXPRESS and BARE BONZ PANEL
wire systems. The RETRO is a great choice for cost conscious
buyers who want an easy to install and reliable, yet not include all
the bells and whistles that make Ron Francis the top name in
aftermarket wire business. We also sell individual components and
installation aids as well as a selection of mini-kits for specific
applications .... all designed and created so that the finished
installation can be customized to the user's preference and needs.
The development of special hardware to fit custom cars and trucks
has resulted in a variety of unique components, many of which have
earned prestigious awards for the WIRE WORKS from the National
Street Rod Association. In 1982 the WIRE WORKS Trans-mounted Neutral
Safety Switch received "Product of the Year" award, and the WIRE
WORKS Bright Bulbs were picked as the Best "Safety Product of the
Year" in 1985. In 1994 the Wire Works Crash Relay received another
Best "Safety Product of the Year" award, and our electric gear shift
indicator show what creative designers we have. RON FRANCIS
is a competitive participant in these programs every year and
maintains that status through design and development of new products
on a regular basis!
A Word From Ron
I would like to thank
you for taking the time to look over our latest catalog and for
considering the use of our products.
As the pioneer of the do-it-yourself wire kit, I can assure you that
our products are as user friendly as possible.
Rodders are always telling us just how much they learned and enjoyed
rewiring their car. Our easy to follow full color instructions help
you understand what you are doing while rewiring your own vehicle.
Should you encounter problems in the future, the color coded and
printed wires help you troubleshoot the problem, even if you're on
the the side of the road.
There is no need to carry manuals for emergency information with a
WIRE WORKS kit. Since we are a full time wire company, our helpful
technicians are available to answer your questions. Many of our
employees are enthusiasts who work on, build and drive specialty
vehicles and use them to further develop our products.
Our kits are custom designed for your application. No off the shelf
box sold with a smile and a "good luck" from someone only interested
in your money. At the Wire Works we enjoy making products that are
great for you to use and enjoy.
This year we celebrate our 31st Anniversary of making these
Do-it-Yourself products that work well for the novice and expert
alike. Ron Francis products are preferred and used by more
professionals than any other. If you have questions or comments
please give us a call, we would enjoy hearing from you.
Enjoy!
Ron |
