Now offering a one day inspirational coachbuilding/ metalshaping class. This class is designed to appeal to the collector car enthusiast that has desired to attend my four day coachbuilding class but the opportunity to take several travel days and a three or four days at the class is impossible with their busy schedule.
In this one day class learn information, skills, and techniques that will take you years to learn on your own. Learn in a well tooled 20000 sq ft shop that is one of the best collector automobile sheet metal shaping facilities in the world. At Pro Shaper Sheet Metal our team works seven days a week on collector car sheet metal panels- that is all we do besides offering the classes.
Cost:
This comprehensive and inspirational one day class is offered for only $300.00 per person and includes a free lunch.
If you would like to attend with a son or daughter to let them see what is possible they can attend free (sixteen or younger).
