Founder of Engineered To Slide
I had to piece together different bits from various places, and it was frustrating and confusing.
From learning the ins and outs of different materials, welding techniques, and how to approach a project. I couldn't find a single resource where all the information you needed was in one place.
That's why I created Engineered To Slide. I wanted to show car and bike enthusiasts (like you) that their dream build is possible.
And - better yet - they need a lot less than they expected to execute it.

I'll then be in touch to discuss your project and what we can do for you.
But the truth is, I'm just like you - an aspiring car builder with a passion for fabricating and welding.
Since kicking off the Spaceframe Toyota Hilux build and documenting the whole build through the blog in 2006, I've been blessed by the custom car community's overwhelmingly positive response.
My work has been featured in some of the world's biggest car websites and magazines, and I've had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the industry's top fabricators.
But despite all this, I'm still just a guy in a shed - working hard to turn my dreams into reality
But it all started with that one build.
I wanted to show people that their dream cars are possible, and you don't need millions of dollars or a huge garage to do it.
