Stitch Freaks Seats Featured in Hot Rod Magazine’s “The Nasty Nash”
At Stitch Freaks, we’re incredibly proud to see our work become part of truly memorable builds—and few cars capture attention quite like The Nasty Nash.
Recently featured in Hot Rod magazine, this sinister 1954 Nash Metropolitan build by Mark and Scott Hayden is exactly the kind of project we love being involved with. Built in Prospect, Kentucky, this car isn’t just about horsepower or stance—it’s about passion, family, and the joy of building something special together.
The Nasty Nash features our Traditional Series seats with a standard pleat, providing a clean, timeless interior that fits perfectly with the car’s aggressive street-machine personality. Sometimes simple is exactly what a bold build needs, and this interior proves that classic design never goes out of style.
What makes this feature even cooler is the story behind the build. Mark grew up in a hot-rod household where learning, wrenching, and building were part of everyday life. From a barn-turned-garage to a full shop and paint booth, the Haydens built more than cars—they built memories. This Nash Metropolitan is their second Metro build, and like many great projects, it started as a rough, rotted parts car bought sight unseen. In under a year, they transformed it into a jaw-dropping street machine that commands attention wherever it goes.
We love seeing our seats in cars like this—vehicles built to be driven, shown, and enjoyed. Whether it’s a high-dollar show car or a budget-friendly build with big attitude, it’s an honor to be part of the interior that brings everything together.
Huge respect to Mark and Scott Hayden for continuing to build cool cars the right way—and thanks to Hot Rod for showcasing projects that remind all of us why we fell in love with hot rods in the first place.
