š Meet Ben ā the newest addition to the Viking Hotrods team!
Weāre excited to welcome Ben to our paint department!
Ben has been spray painting since he was just 16 years old. Growing up in a family that lived and breathed cars, it was only natural that he found his way into the trade.
His passion lies in custom paintwork, where no two jobs are ever the same. One of the biggest and most memorable projects heās worked on was a Peterbilt 379 truckāa huge undertaking involving countless hours of cutting and polishing, finished in a stunning three-layer pearl paint system. It looked incredibleā¦ although weāre not entirely sure weād be able to squeeze something that size into our booth! š
And when the workday finishesā¦ Ben doesnāt stop painting! Youāll usually find him in the shed working on his own projects, including his XY Falcon.
If he could paint any vehicle, it would be a classic ā32 or ā34 Hot Rodāso we think heāsās going to fit in just fine around here. š
When asked why he chose Viking, his answer was simple:
āIt looked like a great workshop that was on its way up, and I wanted to be part of it.ā
šø Pictured here with our Master Painter, Steve, this is the Viking paint teamā¦ and what a pair! We canāt wait to see what these two create together.
Please join us in giving Ben a warm Viking welcome! šš„
