From Raul Cruz
My father Raul Cruz Sr. is my inspiration. He was a pipe welder in Puerto Rico and I used to be his apprentice. He taught me to weld and basic mechanical work. I developed a passion to dismantle vehicles and rebuild them to be unique. I did go to trade school for about 7 months, but I found it so boring that I decided to not to continue. Over the years I found myself in need of fabrication work for my vehicles, so I decided to try it myself. After many attempts, and YouTube videos I got the hang of it. Motor work came next after I blew the motor of my daily driver. I decided to rebuild it. Having a few friends that had racing cars, I asked a lot of questions and figured it out. Electrical, paint, and all other aspects of fixing and building a vehicle followed. I’ve worked on various vehicles, trucks, and model cars and trucks as well.
