Custom Fabrication is one of the jobs Aubrey sends us most often, and there's a reason for that. Aubrey calls itself the heart of North Texas horse country and it isn't marketing -- there are working barns and training facilities all through the 76227 area and out along FM 428 and US 377. The trucks that come to us from Aubrey are pulling living-quarters horse trailers and stock trailers on real schedules, over roads that go from new asphalt to caliche in a quarter mile. Those trucks don't need to look good in a parking lot; they need a rear end that doesn't wrap, a bed that doesn't rot out, and mounting points that hold when the trailer is loaded.
Aubrey is about twenty minutes down FM 1385 or US 377 to the shop. Most of the fabrication a working ranch truck needs simply isn't something a general repair shop will take on -- if a part has to be built rather than ordered, that's the drive worth making.
About Custom Fabrication
If you can sketch it, describe it, or point at a picture and say "build me something like that, but better," this is the service. Custom fabrication is the foundation of 2 Man Fab -- it's what we do when a part doesn't exist off a shelf, when a bolt-on kit doesn't fit right, or when you want something nobody else in Little Elm, TX is running.
We work in steel and aluminum, TIG and MIG, and we build everything in-house on our own table -- flatbeds, brackets, skid plates, mounts, tube work, sheet metal panels, and structural pieces for trucks and cars. Every project starts with a real conversation about what you're trying to do with the vehicle, not a catalog page.
This is hands-on, small-shop fabrication -- two guys, one shop, no corners cut. We measure twice, mock everything up before we commit a weld, and we don't hand a truck back until the fit and finish is something we'd be proud to put our name on.

How It Works
- 1
Consult & concept
We talk through what you're building, look at reference photos or sketches, and figure out what's actually possible on your vehicle and budget.
- 2
Mock-up
Before anything gets welded permanently, we mock the piece up on the truck or car so you can see the fit and make changes.
- 3
Fabrication
Once the mock-up is approved, we cut, form, and weld the final piece in-house on our shop table.
- 4
Fit & finish
We install, test-fit, and clean up welds and edges so the final product is ready for paint, coating, or the road.

Custom Fabrication in Aubrey -- Common Questions
Do I need to bring my own design or drawings?
No. Some customers bring a sketch or a photo of something they like, others just describe the problem they're trying to solve. We'll help turn that into a real, buildable piece.
Can you match an existing part or replicate something from another vehicle?
Yes -- reverse-engineering and replicating a part is a common request, especially for older trucks where OEM parts are discontinued.
What materials do you work with?
Mostly mild steel and aluminum, in a range of gauges and tube sizes. If your project calls for something more specialized, ask -- we'll tell you straight if it's something we can handle in-house.
How much does custom fabrication cost?
Every build is different, so we don't post prices -- we quote per job after we understand exactly what you want built. Reach out for a free quote.
Can you build a flatbed set up for a living-quarters horse trailer?
Yes. We locate the gooseneck ball, headache rack, and tie-down points around how you actually load and hitch, and build the bed in steel on our own table.
