Soph's Garage

Kids are the future and with kids like Sophia the future of custom looks bright. Not only does she love custom work, but she uses her own hands to build her custom projects. So much for hanging out in the garage and hiding dads bolts. This kid gets down and dirty with sanding, painting and upholstery. Soph’s an inspiration to not only kids but us dad’s who want to get our kids using their hands to create something special and unique to them. We salute both Soph and her Dad Tommy from Crude Roundup for setting a great example for the youth and for parents.
