Rad Rides Presents Rad Upholstery

April 14, 2011 By Nadeem Muaddi

Troy Trepanier may not be a household name like Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington, but he’s just as talented and arguably more creative. Follow Troy in this pictorial as he takes  a stab at auto upholstery and fabricates an interior from scratch for a 1951 Chevy Pickup truck.
His company, Rad Rides by Troy, has quickly become America’s premier custom car builder – designing some of the hottest rides and winning countless prestigious design awards. It’s obvious why.
