Auto Club Team Wins 1st Place at the Buckboard Day Parade
Congratulations to our Rolling Raiders students for earning 1st place at the Buckboard Parade with their impressive custom vehicle project! Over the course of two months, students dedicated their time, effort, and skills to transforming a truck into a standout ride. The project featured extensive bodywork to convert the truck into a convertible, a sleek two-tone paint job, lowered front and rear suspension, and a muffler delete. Their hard work, creativity, and commitment to automotive craftsmanship paid off with this well-deserved victory. Way to go, Rolling Raiders!
