Lukes Custom Machine & Design Ltd, North Vancouver, BC

Luke has been in business for over 30 years and started his apprenticeship under his father in the early 70’s. Luke Balogh Senior was a qualified and accomplished master mechanic and doctor of motors who tirelessly trained his son in the art of engine building and imparted the gift of old country craftsmanship. Luke’s interest in custom built hot rods (preferably fast ones) started as a twelve year old and it was this desire to build custom hot rods that led Luke to learn the craftsman's skills of welding and fabricating. In the early 80’s, Luke’s passion led him to learn how to work as a machinist to make the components that he desired but could not find or afford. Since then, Luke’s creative and innovative ideas have continued to flourish and Luke’s reputation and career have been built on designing, engineering and manufacturing his own custom products. Designing proto-types for his clients with special interests has pushed Luke to forefront in his field. An extensive body of work on various cars and the racing achievements have led to the wealth of knowledge on components made by “Luke's Custom Machine & Design”. Luke’s main interests are in: Custom Cars & Hot Rods Upgrading Ford flathead engines Early Chrysler Hemi engines Luke’s focus on Innovative and Artful Design is coupled with the Philosophy - “I can build and help others to build the finest looking and smoothest running Engines with my Custom Designed and Fabricated Automotive Components”.
