Sucker Punch Sally’s Teams with Fender Guitars To Create Hot Rod Toyota Tundra to be Unveiled at SEMA

Sucker Punch Sally’s, the predominant masters of Old School, are teaming up with Toyota Racing and Fender Guitars to reincarnate a 2009 Toyota Tundra into a 1950’s-style hot rod for SEMA.  Complete with a custom wooden flatbed with surfboard rack, the refurbished machine will transport observers to an era of authentic hot rods, the original Toyota Corona, Ford Skyliners and surfer-esque wood-paneled wagons.

The Toyota Tundra was stripped bald at the Sucker Punch Sally’s manufacturing facility in Scottsdale, AZ  and is receiving a total overhaul with new headliner, seats, panels, carpet and paint job complete with bright red flames. The finished product will be unveiled at SEMA, the premier automotive specialty performance products trade event in Las Vegas. Showcased within the hand built custom wooden flatbed will be the Sucker Punch Sally’s Triumph Thruxton. Custom-built specifically for Fender, the famed guitar manufacturer, the Triumph was fitted with custom parts and paint to make it look like a vintage Isle of Man Café Racer. The Triumph was originally unveiled at the Fender booth during the NAMM show in California last year and captivated all who had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of it.
Christian Clayton, owner of Sucker Punch Sally’s, is pleased with the progress of the hot rod Tundra as well as the company’s collaboration with Fender, the legendary guitar-maker. "We enjoy projects like these. It gives us the opportunity to take some creative liberties and have fun," he explains. "We had the opportunity to build something special for Fender last year that embodied the spirit of their product. The Thruxton is a magnificent machine and the Toyota hot rod promises to be just as insane. Having the hot rod and the Triumph together is going to be incredible."
