Key facts

Story
  • Fat Fender Garage built an 800-horsepower restomod of a classic Ford F-100 pickup
  • The build reportedly took more than 15,000 hours
  • A Whipple supercharger is central to the build, which was shown at SEMA

Fat Fender Garage has built an 800-horsepower restomod of a classic Ford pickup, a project that took more than 15,000 hours to complete. The truck is a restored Ford F-100 that has been turned into a supercharged, supercar-inspired machine.

A Whipple supercharger is the centrepiece of the power upgrade, and the truck was built for the SEMA show.

The price of the truck has not been given. It is not known whether it will be sold, or to whom, and no release plans have been announced.

Restomods pair a classic body with modern engines, brakes and suspension. Builders often aim to keep the original look while giving the car far more performance. Projects like this one show how far that approach can go when the budget and time are large.

The 15,000 hours have not been broken down between bodywork, engine work and fabrication. How the truck performs on the road has not been reported, and no figure for its weight or top speed is available.
