From Track to Trail

With over 30 years of  a race-bred engineering legacy from Factory Five Racing, FFR founder Mark Smith has applied the same design principles to Smyth kits: an elegant combination of aluminum, fiberglass and hardware that turn Dodge Chargers/300's and VW New Beetles into terrific "Utes" or sport trucks. That same engineering philosophy—focused on an elegant, lightweight structural design with a simple build process—is what led us to our latest line of products available now: Two sizes of all-aluminum, bolt-together DIY teardrop trailers.

 

The Smyth Teardrop Trailer

 

We've brought our proven DIY brand to the small trailer "Teardrop" DIY crowd. The Smyth teardrop trailer is a project that is built to take you anywhere, but it’s still simple enough to be constructed in your own driveway. A blank canvas for the hands-on builder, this all-aluminum framed shell is forged with the same high quality race-bred engineering that all of Mark's products over the years are famous for.  It’s our fastest project yet, often completed in a few weekends.

 

The Original Smyth Ute Kit

 

The Smyth reputation is built on the back of our wildly popular "Ute" conversion kits. We believe they are the ultimate way to get the astounding performance and styling of a car with the utility and incredibly unique looks of a custom Ute. Our all-aluminum panels are engineered to further strengthen the base car, providing a structural, rust-free base for your hot rod pickup build. Unlike many custom cars, Smyth truck conversions are designed to retain the original vehicle's modern advanced safety features, and reliable drivetrains, allowing you to enjoy a unique project with the confidence of modern speed, handling, comfort, safety and reliability.

They're best sellers for a reason.

“I didn’t want to build an all-fiberglass beauty queen. The high-end aluminum bed/braces and the functional tailgate sold me.”
