For fun and to feed the creative monster within us, we decided to build a 60's style Hot Rod from a 1928 A Ford pickup and to incorporate swedish state-of-the art crystal design and artistry signed by Ludvig Löfgren. We have an idea of whats to come but not a clue where it will take us in the end! And that's kinda the point of it!
