I'll be starting my autobody classes at Baran Institute of Technology. I'll also be taking the additional "Custom Plus" program that will teach me how to do custom body panel fabrication and other autobody cliches such as flames, ghosts, skulls, ribbons, marble, etc.
Maybe I can be the next Boyd Coddington, Chip Foose, or similar overrated autobody tool. :p
www.baraninstitute.com The car on the front page ('38 Mercury, I think?) was completely built by BIT students. The Automotive mechanics classes did the motor/transmission/etc. while the autobody and custom plus programs did the body work and paint.
When I went to check out the school, some of the more notable vehicles I spotted were a '60 Corvette being primed, '69 Charger stripped to the bare unibody on one of those big body swivel things, early 70's A-body with no nose or motor, an early 70's Nova turned dragcar (with at least 13" wide tires in the back) being painted in one of their four paint booths, a buttload of old bikes, and an '88-'91.5 LTD Vic up on one of their 6+ car lifts.
Their paint booths can bake a car in five minutes.
I'm also being supplied four about $4k worth of Snap-On tools (so basically a tool box and a wrench set :p) and uniforms.
This is going to be interesting.
