Developed in response to the growing popularity of collector car restoration, this exciting new program consists of a suite of five 30-hour part-time courses covering:
- Vehicle Restoration: Sheet Metal Fabrication
- Oxyacetylene and gas metal arc welding
- Surface preparation
- Refinishing techniques
- Advanced project to build a 1/4 scale custom vehicle
In addition to learning from the instructors’ years of experience, students will be encouraged to share their own experiences with classmates in an inter-active setting.
