In Behind the Build Ep. 8 presented by Hagerty, HOT ROD Editor-in-Chief John McGann tours Ruffian Cars in Southern California with founder Chris Ashton. Known for “building wild cars,” Chris transforms big ideas into reality—combining bold design, meticulous planning, and fabrication skills to create some of today’s most talked-about custom builds. This episode features a widebody ’67 Mustang inspired by American racers in Europe, a Galaxie reimagined for road-course performance, and a mid-engine El Camino powered by Chevy’s 1,000hp ZZ632 crate engine. Ruffian Cars proves that wild ideas can be engineered with real function. Would you take the Galaxie around an autocross course, rip the Mustang on your favorite track, or try out that mid-engine El Camino?
