Dude’s Fab Shop is a fabrication shop specializing in custom vehicles, specifically custom trucks. They have a fully equipped shop to meet all your fabrication needs, including CNC plasma cutting, MIG, TIG, Flux Core, stick welding, and oxy fuel cutting. The shop is owned and operated by young couple Dalton Lovejoy and Maddie Heater. 
Dalton bought his first truck when he was 15. He wanted to build a “mega mud truck” and be the only kid his age with one. That was the starting point for everything. Soon he was building custom trucks and winning awards at trade shows like Daytona Truck Meet and SEMA Shows. Now Maddie helps run the business and has also built her first custom jeep. Dalton and Maddie’s story proves that you’re never too young to chase a dream. 
Let’s hear more about what this power couple has in store for you in today’s episode of NC Shop Talk. 
“Never one or two trucks that I build is ever going to be the same. I’m not a cookie-cutter builder.”
