2 Man Fab builds custom fabrication for drivers across McKinney, TX. McKinney has an unusually strong classic-vehicle streak for a city its size -- the downtown square draws cruise-ins and car crowds, and there's a real population of restored and half-restored trucks parked in garages across Stonebridge Ranch and the older neighborhoods near the square. What we get from McKinney tends to be ambitious: not a single part, but a whole build somebody has been planning for a while and finally wants done properly.
McKinney is about thirty minutes west along US 380, one road most of the way. For a full build -- the kind of project that lives at a shop for weeks -- the drive matters far less than whether the shop will actually see it through, and we take on fewer jobs specifically so the ones we have get finished.
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 McKinney -- 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.
How long does a full build take?
It depends entirely on scope, and we'll give you a realistic window before you commit -- not an optimistic one. A full build is measured in weeks or months, and we'd rather you hear that at the start.
