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.

Building a 1000HP Tube-Chassis Mercedes 300SEL Widebody Track Weapon ft. Smokedogg Customs

In this episode, we sit down with the mind behind Smokedogg Customs to break down one of the wildest builds on the show floor — a 1000HP, tube-chassis Mercedes 300SEL widebody built to be driven hard.
What started as a neglected, rusty chassis turned into a full one-off race car, featuring a chopped roof, custom widebody, C6 Corvette suspension, and a twin-turbo setup pushing four-digit power. No CAD files. No off-the-shelf kits. Just raw fabrication, problem-solving, and years of experience packed into one build.-Follow Smokedogg Customs for updates on the build here: https://www.instagram.com/smokedogg_customs/

Stay Away From"Exotic Engine Swaps" - Cool on Paper, Nightmare in Reality

We’ve all seen the viral builds — a W12 in a WRX, a jet engine in a Civic, or some crazy exotic swap that looks amazing on paper. But here’s the reality: most of those projects end up unfinished, stuck in the shop, or burning way more time and money than anyone expected.
In this episode, we’re breaking down why exotic swaps and wild setups usually aren’t worth it. From impossible-to-find parts, endless wiring nightmares, custom fabrication, and tuning headaches, to the resale value that vanishes the second you cut the first mount — we cover it all.
If you actually want a car you can drive (and not just park for Instagram likes), proven platforms like LS, JZ, and K-series swaps are the way to go. They’re reliable, supported, and you’ll actually get to enjoy the build instead of fighting it forever.
👉 Tune in as we talk social media hype vs. real-world reliability, share shop stories, and explain why exotic swaps are more trouble than they’re worth
