My amazing son is who motivated me to get back into the automotive world. I am an old Morpar guy and custom motorcycle builder. Matthew decided we should fix up our old and very rusty 99 dually with a cummins.

Starting our 99 Ram build
This rekindled a passion for creating rolling works of art I missed more then I could have ever imagined. We started off traveling around the county purchasing 68 to 70 Mopars and along the way came up with the idea for the shop.

Matthew was only 10 when we started this.
While on one of our many road trips I saids we are nuts you know! Matthew said ya dad Lugnuts and thats how we came up with the name for our shop. I am very blessed to have a son who got me out of my office and back into a shop. We are now restoring Morpar muscle cars and brining up rust free Dodge Ram diesel trucks from Texas to build and sell.

Matthew always keeps an eye on the load.
Lugnuts Garage is also a place I have opened up to Matthews friends to teach them a trade and give them a place to hand out and work on there vehicles. I love have a group of teens here. We have what I call the village of sorts.

All great kids who work hard at the shop have helped bring this dream to light.
