In the mid 1990’s,
Ron Kincaid was hired by
Metco Inc., an Anderson, SC-
based CNC- business to
design, develop, and market
specialty automotive
performance parts. Drawing
upon years of hands-on car
building and racing
experience, Ron took
advantage of the then-new
CNC technology and began to
make some of his original and
innovative ideas for hardcore
racing parts a reality.
The business began with
suspension components. At
the time, many companies
offered products that were
better than the OEM designs,
but none that offered the no-
compromise improvement in
both strength and function that
Ron envisioned. Ron soon
developed the first billet lower
control arms, which were CNC-
machined from solid aluminum
and fitted with high-grade
bushings. A few years later,
Ron introduced the first
polyurethane-bushed double-
adjustable upper control arm,
which for the first time ever
combined the benefits of in-
car adjustability with the
streetability of polyurethane
bushings.
The control arm product line
developed a widespread
reputation for its innovative
design and outstanding
quality. The product line was
proven again and again on
road courses, drag strips, and
main streets across the
country. Now in 2012, this
product line covers nearly
every performance application
that uses a standard four-link
suspension design from the
factory.
In the following years, the line
of now well-known "chassis-
specific" NHRA-legal driveshaft
safety loops was introduced.
These loops were custom
designed as the ‘Solution’ to
the problem of universal
driveshaft loops that are
supposed to fit all vehicles but
actually fit none. Now in
2012, nearly 30 different
vehicles are covered in this
product line.
In the year 2000, the owners
of Metco Inc. chose to divest
the motorsports division. In
June of that year, Metco
Motorsports Solutions became
solely owned by Ron, son
Aaron and wife Kathy
Kincaid.
With hard work and careful
guidance from Ron, Kathy,
and Aaron, the company
continued to grow and expand
the Metco Motorsports product
line. The company’s
experience with Aaron’s Ford
Lightning truck and
supercharged Harley Davidson
F150 led to the development
of a comprehensive line of
billet pulleys, idlers, and even
complete supercharger drives
for the blown factory Fords.
Metco Motorsports quickly
became the premier supplier
of blower and accessory drive
systems for these
applications.
A recent company project, a
Factory Five roadster powered
by a modified GT500 engine
and a Viper-spec six speed,
was a ground-breaking effort
that has proven to be an
effective way to showcase the
company’s design and
manufacturing capabilities.
In 2007, the team of owners
grew to include long-time
friends Rick and Kristi
Bejarano. Rick and Kristi
joined the team to help
manage the companies ever-
increasing workload, to
develop new product ideas,
and to expand the companies
marketing efforts. Rick and
Kristi brought their enthusiasm
for building and racing cars as
well their marketing and IT
experience from their years in
the professional field.
In 2012, Ron Kincaid retired
from the business. He now
has the time to pursue his own
hobbies, which include a 1972
Buick GS Stage 1 and the
frame-off restoration of a rare
1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30.
Aaron, Rick, Kristi and Kathy
work closely together to
manage all aspects of the
business. The team is
constantly working to develop
new products, improve
existing products, and further
improve production
efficiency. With an
established and skilled
production staff, the CNC
machines stay hot
manufacturing original Metco
products as well as a number
of proprietary products for
other retailers. The Metco
catalog includes hardcore
racing parts for nearly every
domestic performance vehicle,
and new parts are being
added to the catalog on a
regular basis. In 2012, nearly
a dozen new products have
been added to our catalog,
with many more coming very
soon.
From its modest beginnings
almost 13 years ago in Ron’s
home garage, Metco
Motorsports Solutions, Inc.
makes full use of its 6000+
square foot facility. All
product design and
prototyping, production,
assembly, packaging and
shipping occurs at this building
in Anderson, SC. Metco
Motorsports is fully equipped
with a series of brand new,
state-of-the-art Haas CNC
lathes, mills and the
necessary support
equipment. Metco
Motorsports is committed to
providing products of unique
design and function, and the
focus remains on clever
engineering, user-friendly
installations, and world-class
customer support.
