2018 Mavericks of Color - Justin Nichols

Justin Nichols, Nichols Paint & Fabrication, built his first hot rod at the age of seven with his dad—a Maverick in the making at an early age. It was a 1931 Ford pickup topped with what Justin describes as “grasshopper” green. It’s one of those builds that stays in the family; Justin’s son will someday be behind the wheel of that father son build. Justin’s dad only recently passed away; however, he remains a driving force—an inspiration—in his son’s life and business as the work of Nichols Paint & Fabrication, a now big-time custom shop in the small town of Watseka, IL. Justin debuts at the SEMA Show 2017 with not one, but two feature builds and steps into the role of “Maverick of Color”.
