Ruffian Cars - Stuffing an 800HP Viper V10 Into a 1935 Plymouth on a Race Car Chassis

In this episode of Modify with Trickfactory Customs, we sit down with Chris Ashton of Ruffian Cars to break down what it really takes to build modern hot rods at the highest level.

We get into Ruffian’s design-first approach, from CAD and digital modeling to carbon fiber bodywork, race-car-inspired chassis design, and integrating modern drivetrains into classic platforms. Chris walks us through how projects like their 800HP V10-powered ’35 Plymouth come together, and why Ruffian treats every build like a ground-up engineering exercise rather than a restoration.
