#WhyWeWeld
Two Southern California brothers turned crashed cars into a welding-fueled side hustle and a growing YouTube brand. Lenny and Noah, the Backspeed Boys, share how their “buy, repair, sell” loop grew into bigger builds and bigger dreams.
“You just have to start and get the job done.” Christopher Crawford—better known as Virginia Is for Lowriders—is a welder and fabricator from Northern Virginia. In this interview, he shares how he got into welding and how he’s influencing the welding and fabrication community.
Brandon Potter, known on Instagram as @2jz_yota, is a Las Vegas–based welder and fabricator who started learning welding after being inspired by a friend. He’s now building his 1989 Toyota pickup into an Ultra4 rock-crawler, taking on engine swaps, custom fabrication, and more. We talked with Brandon about his build journey and how he hopes to inspire the next generation of hands-on builders.
