Fat Fender Garage spent 15,000 hours designing and building a 1956 Ford F-100 called “GT/FX” for owner Tony Peressini. The special truck is the culmination of the company’s 13-years of experience. Under the modified hood sits a 5.0 L Coyote V8 producing 800 hp (588 kW) and 750 lb-ft (1016 Nm) of torque thanks to a 3.0 L Whipple supercharger. The motor’s triumphant sound is created through a custom 3-inch tubing with electric cutouts before Borla XR-1 Raceline mufflers. A 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission transmits torque to a Currie rear end. The truck rides on Fat Fender Garage’s FF1 chassis featuring a lowered suspension, coilover shocks, and Wilwood disc brakes. The front uses six-piston calipers while the rear has four-piston calipers. Covering those are custom HRE 20-inch wheels wearing Toyo Proxes Sport 2 (245/45, 315/35). On the body Fat Fender Garage sectioned the cab by two inches and lowered the crown of the roof and hood. The company widened the fenders and fabricated custom running boards and bed. Everything is coated in a champagne-colored paint with black racing stripes.
