Luis Rodriguez lives in New Jersey and he is a weekend warrior when it comes to cars. He is a fabricator and builder whose recent creation earned him the winner of the Hot Wheels Legends Tour. Hot Wheels hit the road with a traveling car show in search of a custom car worthy of being an actual Hot Wheels diecast car. As part of celebrating their legacy that started in 1968, Hot Wheels scoured the nation, making 15 stops across the USA, in search of that one special car. At SEMA 2018, they found a winner in Luis Rodriguez. Luis designed and built his 2JETZ, an authentic, unique, original ride with a garage-made spirit all its own. I got to see his car in person at SEMA this year and all I can say is WOW!
