Nichols – Season 1

About Nichols Customs

Born and raised in Watseka, Illinois, Justin Nichols owner of Nichols Paint & Fab was a by-product of his father, a man genuinely connected to the life of fast cars and flashy paint jobs.  His love for anything automotive led to his creation of Nichols Paint and Fab.

In a relatively short time, Justin has already accomplished what many fabricators and builders around the world seek from their careers… two full seasons of his own TV series on MotorTrend “Wrench’d.” A three-time builder on Spike TV’s Search and Restore and featured twice on Powernation, Justin has become an automotive icon. His ability and passion to create some of the most amazing hot rods and custom rides to ever cruise the streets of Illinois have become an inspiration for many automotive enthusiasts nationwide.

Beyond the Search and Restore TV series, Justin’s work has been showcased in Classic Truck, Street Rodder, Raw Bike, Hot Rod, Bagger, American Bagger, and Built Not Bought magazines, as well as being awarded for many other top of-class, Top 20 at World of Wheels Chicago, Street Rodder top 100 in the nation, Top 10 at Syracuse Nationals, Builders Choice, best of show and paint awards. Recently, Justin and his staff won Best Traditional Hot Rod and Best in Class with their 1929 Ford Sedan at World of Wheels in Chicago.

Justin continues to run his business, Nichols Paint and Fab, where he designs and fabricates some of the most appealing hot rods and custom motorcycles to come out of the state of Illinois. “Nichols Customs” is his new show on POWERtube TV which follows Justin and his crew during their wild custom builds and crazy antics at their new shop in Illinois.
