Texlenin Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not a pro, Randy; but I did get a degree in that ol' black magic known as AutoBody Engineering in community college. Done a couple of projects for friends and some on my own. Whatcha need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorillaFart Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I wish I was a professional. I am however, transitioning into the professional field as an auto collision mechanic and painter =D If only I could find someone to work with me on metal shaping/forming, so I can further my knowledge in learning customization.

Texlenin Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 GorillaFart (why?) Dood, you live in Southern California. The birthplace of car customization, hellloooo? That's like living in a whorehouse and saying you can't get laid.... (I'm kidding!!!) Bike shops- classic restoration houses- low rider shops- etc. Find one nearby and offer to take their metal man out to lunch. Pick his brain, get more contacts. Drag a junker in the back yard, buy some tools, Practice! Take an Auto body class at a local school (my route). Find everything you can read on the subject. Watch youtube videos. I'm sure palosfv3 will tell ya, it's dirty, noisy, dangerous work. But the reward of looking at a rusted-out shell that you brought back from ferrous oxide hell, ready for paint...ain't much better than that. Best of luck to ya!
