‘The whole ethos for me with this truck was that it looks pretty stock, but you can’t get a fag paper underneath’
There are a lot of slammed, ratty trucks about these days. Speaking with some of the professional hot rod builders we regularly talk to, they’re just about the most commonly enquired about vehicle. A lot of people are put off, though, when they hear how much one is going to cost to have built, mainly because they look like they should be simple and cheap.
You know, just buy some old farm truck off eBay and slam it. Simple, right?
‘What we do is perverse in a way,’ says Grant Kennaird. ‘If we get it right, we make it look easy, like it’s not hard work at all. The perverse part is that then people who don’t know what’s involved think it really is easy to do.’
But all you need to do is buy one and slam it, right? Wrong.
‘The whole ethos for me with this truck was that it looks pretty stock, but you can’t get a fag paper underneath. That’s what I wanted.’
