Bugeye Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 So I was over at the college body shop checking on my gas pump today, the instructor was looking for somebody to sand blast one of the doors for my pump and said I have the set up at home to do it. Man when he heard that he asked can you do an entire car? I said why yes I can I am doing my datsun right now. He then asks if I can sand blast his 67 Camaro, I told him sure, if he does all the paint and body work on my datsun. :lol::lol: I said it as a joke, he said he would do it:eek::eek: So now I am going to be dropping of the 521 at school and prob wont see it for a year, but hey, all the expensive work (labor) is going to be done for free, so I can't bitch. Now I just need to figure out what color I want it to be:lol: Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Don't know how the rest of the USA handles it but in California Junior College automotive trades classes and High School level "Regional Occupation Centers" offering auto trade instruction [usually with major help from manufacturer / dealer networks] accept cars and trucks needing various body, engine, interior, electrical and paint as class work projects. Usually takes a class year and you get back a beautifully repaired vehicle. Some charge for parts used, most don't, but with the financial squeeze on schools, expect to be charged for parts from now on. Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 that is the coolest deal ever, right on dude..:D Quote Link to comment
Bugeye Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Im not getting charged for anything because I am supplying the sand to blast the instructors 67 Camaro. Our college doesn't get any help from the manufacturer or dealer networks Quote Link to comment
