Before you scroll
This page is built as an immersive experience, a digital museum of Houston slab culture as much as a shop. Every ride, photo and chapter here is ours.
So do it right: turn your volume up and hit Play on the Shop Stereo, historic DJ Screw on shuffle, then take your time rolling through the rides, the trunks, the culture and the people who built it.
Gold or lead, no in between.

What We Do
This is not a shop counter. Plato o Plomo Garage is a sourcing and quality assurance process. Your money does not just pay for a full build, it pays for the intricate, culturally correct details that make a slab anatomically right: the paint depth, the poke, the level stance, the grain, the trunk and the knock.
Not just anyone can build it right. We build it right because we know the underground.
