This website is created to literally unite all garage car hobbyists to all resources in the automotive restoration and modification industry.  This is everything once found on Route 66 in one website. Inversely, manufacturers can research the industry to market test new products and ideas.

NutLugs has been digging deep to find companies tucked away across the fields of America who provide great services although do not have a website available.  Remember the good old telephone?  It still works and we provide the telephone number as well as a map to every listing.

• Over 5600 Vendors listed by Searchable Categories/States to help you find what you need for parts or resources in the hobby
• Technical Forum
• Over 250 Categories to group you with those working on the same issues
• Q&A’s, advice, tips – all with the ability to read/reply from your desktop email
• Town Crier - Ability to privately communicate to other members registered to specific topics/cars in addition to public communication in the technical forum

NutLugs was founded on 2 primary philosphies:

1)  Provide a website where Vintage Car, Hot Rod, and Classic Truck companies, clubs, and suppliers can list their name in a respective category to the hobbyists seeking their particular part or service.  Additionally, companies can participate using the website communication tools to get closer to the customers and understanding what the market is seeking for both parts and services.

2)  Provide a website where the hobysists can communicate with others who are dealing with the same issues on the same vehicles, seek cars and parts, browse all events listed, and communicate directly to companies as well as others.  Such communication is managed through the unique messaging system which incorporates direct communication to others with your interests through the My Cars and My Categories (Using 'Town Crier') capabilities.

We welcome companies who offer parts, services, and classic cars to list with NutLugs.  Whatever your contribution to the Vintage Car, Hot Rod, or Classic Truck industry including produce parts, distribute, design, draw, fabricate, assemble, modify, restore, service, sell, transport,  promote, display (museum), educate, insure/appraise, or participate in a car club this website is for you.

There are many more useful features on the horizon.  As the user community grows, these features will be added in time.  Here are some items we are working on:

• Automotive Encyclopedia (NutPedia)
• Photo Library
• User Feedback system to provide buyers a sense of trust when dealing with other site members
• Your personally populated Calendar of Events - created by using 'Add to My Nutlugs' when browsing the calendar
• Additional Suprises and Tools to help you!

NutLugs strives to become the one click location to find everything you need for your Vintage Car, Hot Rod, or Classic Truck.

We welcome you to take part and help this become a vast resource for yourself and others.
