Custom Brackets & Mounts
Engine mounts, transmission mounts, accessory brackets, suspension tabs, shock mounts, fuel tank supports, battery trays, radiator mounts, pedal brackets, and one-off mounting solutions.
Ekins Garage Fabrication
Built for the vehicle in front of us.
Custom brackets, mounts, crossmembers, frame modifications, exhaust systems, and one-off metalwork for classic trucks, muscle cars, hot rods, and custom builds.
Purpose-Built Metalwork
When the right part does not exist, we build it.
Custom vehicles rarely go together with off-the-shelf parts alone. Different engines, transmissions, suspension systems, body dimensions, wheel fitments, and design goals often require components made specifically for the project. At Ekins Garage, fabrication is approached with careful measuring, thoughtful design, precise fitment, and clean execution.
Fabrication Services
Made to fit. Built to last.
Good fabrication solves a real problem without creating three new ones. Strength, clearance, alignment, service access, heat, vibration, appearance, and future maintenance are considered before a component is cut, formed, welded, and installed.
Frame & Chassis Fabrication
Boxed frame rails, custom crossmembers, reinforcements, structural repairs, narrowed or modified sections, body mounts, suspension pickup points, and chassis changes designed around the complete build.
Engine & Drivetrain Integration
Fabrication required to properly position engines, transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, driveshafts, exhaust, and supporting systems while maintaining clearance and serviceability.
Custom Exhaust Systems
Headers, downpipes, stainless tubing, X-pipes, H-pipes, hangers, transitions, muffler placement, heat management, and routing built around sound, performance, clearance, and durability.
Sheet Metal & Component Work
Closeout panels, filler panels, inner structures, floors, transmission tunnels, radiator supports, fan shrouds, covers, trays, and custom pieces formed to fit the vehicle.
One-Off Parts & Repairs
Replacement components for unavailable or poorly fitting parts, repaired mounts and brackets, modified aftermarket pieces, prototypes, and custom solutions for unusual packaging challenges.
More Than Welding
The best fabrication looks like it always belonged there.
A fabricated part should do more than physically fit. It should support the correct load, maintain alignment, clear surrounding systems, resist vibration, allow future service, and match the quality of the rest of the vehicle.
That requires planning before welding begins. Material thickness, shape, mounting location, fastener access, heat exposure, suspension travel, drivetrain movement, and installation order all influence the final design.
The result should feel intentional: clean lines, strong attachment points, sensible routing, and components that work together rather than appearing added as an afterthought.
Our Process
Measure twice. Build it right.
Every fabrication project begins with the problem that needs to be solved. We evaluate the surrounding components, the forces involved, the available space, and how the part must function before determining the best design and material.
01
Project Evaluation
We inspect the vehicle, existing components, mounting points, clearances, damage, intended use, and the specific problem the fabricated part must solve.
02
Measurement & Planning
Critical dimensions, alignment, movement, suspension travel, drivetrain motion, heat sources, hose and wiring routes, and service access are documented before fabrication begins.
03
Material Selection
Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tubing, plate, sheet, fasteners, and welding methods are selected according to strength, weight, corrosion resistance, appearance, and application.
04
Cutting & Forming
Components are cut, drilled, notched, bent, shaped, and prepared with careful attention to symmetry, edge quality, fitment, and repeatable positioning.
05
Welding & Installation
Parts are fixtured, tack welded, checked for alignment, finish welded, cleaned, and installed while controlling distortion and protecting surrounding components.
06
Testing & Final Refinement
Clearance, movement, fastener access, load paths, vibration, heat exposure, and overall appearance are reviewed before the vehicle is returned to service.
The Ekins Garage Standard
Precision in the parts people notice—and the ones they do not.
Fabrication should make the vehicle stronger, cleaner, easier to service, and more complete.
Design Around Function
Every bracket, mount, panel, and crossmember begins with what the component must support, clear, locate, or protect.
Plan for the Complete Vehicle
Fabrication is coordinated with suspension, steering, brakes, drivetrain, fuel, cooling, exhaust, wiring, and body fitment.
Finish the Details
Consistent gaps, clean edges, thoughtful fastener placement, smooth routing, weld quality, and service access separate a finished build from a collection of parts.
Automotive Fabrication FAQ
Questions before starting a custom fabrication project.
Every project is different, but these are some of the most common questions owners ask about custom brackets, frame modifications, welding, and one-off automotive components.
Can Ekins Garage fabricate custom brackets and mounts?
Yes. We fabricate custom brackets, tabs, mounts, supports, trays, crossmembers, and other one-off components based on the vehicle, surrounding parts, required strength, available space, and intended use.
Can you modify or reinforce a classic truck frame?
Yes. Depending on the project, frame work may include boxed rails, custom crossmembers, mounting-point changes, structural repairs, reinforcements, suspension provisions, and modifications needed to integrate modern components.
Can you build a part that is no longer available?
Often, yes. An unavailable component may be recreated or redesigned by measuring the vehicle, evaluating the original function, selecting an appropriate material, fabricating the part, and refining the fit during installation.
Do you perform MIG and TIG welding?
The fabrication and welding process is selected according to the material, thickness, component design, strength requirements, appearance, accessibility, and intended application.
Can fabrication be included with an engine swap or suspension upgrade?
Yes. Engine swaps, transmission changes, suspension conversions, cooling upgrades, fuel systems, exhaust systems, and brake installations frequently require custom fabrication to fit and function correctly.
