Keith Sawyer is the owner and head fabricator of one of the premier custom shops in the Southern US. Nfamus Air Supension has lived up to its name over the past couple of years as countless numbers of Keith's creations have graced the pages of magazines such as Minitruckin, Street Trucks, and Sport Truck. Keith's dynamic background in fabrication has provided him with years of experience and the ability to tackle any project. Keith began his days in Lufkin, Texas, where he worked at established shops such as "To the Max," "Mike's Stereo Shop," and "Dynamic Offroad." Keith's interest in the components of building a custom vehicle allowed him to study the elements of specialized stereo installs and management of custom sound. Later, experience with installation of lift kits, air suspension and roll cages gave him his first introduction into metal fabrication and would ultimately be the catalyst that would drive the now award winning shop.

Keith realized early on that performing quality air suspension installs had becom somewhat of a anomaly in recent years, and filling the void is something that Mr. Sawyer would soon focus all of his efforts towards. About 6 months before opening the shop, Keith moved from Lufkin to Dallas, and did not spare a second on finding customers. Keith began work on a 80's model 1 ton chevy, that proved too big to fit into the small one car garage that was then headquarters of operations. In true fabricator's fashion, Keith wasted no time in building a wooden deck to provide ample working space. Working in a garage can prove exhausting enough, but bagging a truck outside on a deck in the blistering Texas heat added a new level of difficulty. Despite heckles from others, Keith pressed on and used the criticisms as motivation to produce a quality product, which is something that Keith and the crew at Nfamus continue pride themselves on.

Complaints to the homeowners association soon hindered Keith's home operations. Seeking a change in the form of four walls and some a/c, Keith located a shop at 3101 N. Main in Mansfield, Texas. With a little startup cash from his brother, Keith opened Nfamus Air Suspension.

 

The crew has also adopted the phrase" We love your sloppy seconds"...they also fix other shops...uh...lets just say "sub-par work."
