         RE:      INTERMET CORPORATION
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We are counsel to INTERMET Corporation (the "Corporation") and
have represented the Corporation in connection with the Registration Statement
on Form S-4 being filed by it today with the Commission (together with all
exhibits thereto, the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement
relates to an offering (the "Exchange Offer") of $175 million principal amount
of the Corporation's registered 9-3/4% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "Registered
Notes") in exchange for the Corporation's presently outstanding, unregistered
9-3/4% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "Unregistered Notes"). The Unregistered Notes
were and the Registered Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as
of June 13, 2002 (the "Indenture"), among the Corporation, certain subsidiaries
of the Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. The
subsidiaries of the Corporation which are parties to the Indenture (the
"Guarantors") are guaranteeing the Unregistered Notes and the Registered Notes
and their guarantees (the "Guarantees") are being registered under the
Registration Statement.

                  This opinion is being delivered to the Commission as Exhibit 5
to the Registration Statement.

                  We have examined (1) the Articles of Incorporation, and all
amendments thereto, of the Corporation, certified by the Secretary of State of
the State of Georgia; (2) the By-Laws of the Corporation, certified by the
Secretary of the Corporation as being those currently in effect; (3) the
Registration Statement; (4) the Indenture; and (5) such other corporate records,
certificates, documents and other instruments as in our opinion are necessary or
appropriate in connection with expressing the opinions set forth below.

                  Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

                  1. When duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered
against surrender of the corresponding Unregistered Notes in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture, the Registered Notes will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Corporation enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer, equitable
subordination, fair dealing, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles.

                  2. When duly executed, issued and delivered in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, and when the Registered Notes have been issued and
authenticated, the Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Guarantors enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer, equitable
subordination, fair dealing, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles.

                  We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion letter if
any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any
fact that might change the opinions expressed herein after the date hereof.

                  This firm hereby consents to the reference to it under the
heading "Legal Matters" appearing in the Prospectus which is part of the
Registration Statement.

                                                          Sincerely,

                                                          FOLEY & LARDNER
