The 30 year journey started with a garage attached to their house in Southern California and has since led to a 52,000 sq. Eventually, the company became known as Lokar Performance Products to better represent the breadth of products offered.
Debbie recognized his desire to make these better quality products and in 1988 she helped Skip transition the business from a machinery service company to a manufacturer of quality products, Lokar Street Rod Parts. Skip became frustrated often, not being able to find products that were of high enough quality. While in business servicing and repairing machinery, Skip would continue to work on his hotrods, buying parts, modifying each one to his liking. The name, Lokar, easily associable to his desire to lower every vehicle as low as he could was an idea given to him by Debbie. Not long after, Skip went into business for himself and started Lokar as a machinery repair business (a trade he learned working with his father). Skip worked on, raced, and accumulated many cars through the years, until he met Debbie in 1980. However, the heart of the company started well before that, when Skip Walls, a young teenager in the early 60’s was driving his first 1932 Ford 5-Window. 1988, the year it all began – to date – a 34 year affair with manufacturing American Made hotrod parts.
