Taking a Closer Look at Some of the “Green” Cars that RingBrothers has Built
RingBrothers, who are based out of Wisconsin, have been building some of the raddest, baddest and most impressive cars to hit automotive websites, print publications, events and just about anywhere else you’d see a custom car. Whenever we attend the SEMA Show, one of the key highlights of the event is the RingBrothers booth.
In recent years, we’ve been hearing more and more about green this, green that, and more hype surrounding electric vehicles. While that’s the inevitable direction the industry is going, we thought we’d take a minute to reflect on some of the “green” cars that the ‘brothers have assembled.
