This Saturday we hope to see Bruce’s family, friends, and customers. It would mean a lot to see a parking lot full of hotrods.

View Bruce Theodore Martin's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

This morning my father Bruce Martin passed away. He was our fearless leader, innovator, loving father, grandfather, and inspiration to us all.

Bruce pioneered our company since 1997, which his father Lowell started in 1950. With much perseverance, he paved our way from 508 S Cleveland Ave in Mogadore with no bathrooms, heat, or much of any comfort to our new facility in Akron.

He innovated much of what we produce today. Leading and teaching our team to deliver the best packages for fellow hotrod enthusiasts. His passion for horsepower, racing, and working will long outlive him.

His faith, rooted in Jesus Christ, is what he is most proud of.
