Bryan High Unveils Student-Built Mini Monster Truck
Buda, TX (FOX 44) — After nearly a year of hard work, long hours, and teamwork, Bryan High School finally revealed their completed mini monster truck build.
Friends, family, and community members gathered together for the final project. The team told me it was a bittersweet feeling being able to finish the project.
'All the support I'm having from my friends and family, and just seeing all the people here showing their interest in the project I had a part in,' Junior, Juan Daniel said. 'It feels amazing. It feels great.'
This Saturday, the team will showcase their mini monster truck at Monster Truck Jam in Austin.
'We'll get to show it in a packed arena where people are there to see monster trucks, and they'll get to see the one we built,' Graduate, Nate Surley said.
Nate Surley said working with his close friends made the experience special.
'I've known a lot of them since middle school, and just being able to hang out with them while also working on a project that means a lot to all of us,' Surley expressed. 'It was really fun, and it made it a lot more fun.'
According to welding instructor, Chris Lehde, the last few weeks before the deadline were hectic.
'The last few weeks, while we were finishing up on a one-third scale monster truck, we were doing touch-ups on paint and getting the paint done,' Welding instructor, Chris Lehde said. 'We were fine-tuning everything.'
The project was made possible through Northern Tools Plus Equipment's Trades Program with Monster Jam.
