Well I'm a welder & metal fabricator by trade, & did the same thing as an airframe mechanic in the U.S. Air Force, which is where I learned how to paint, then I painted boats for Wellcraft power boats, painted trucks, when I was with the carnival, then I combined everything when I moved to Springfiled Mass, & started doing autobody/painting for a living... I'd reccommend that you check out trade schools in your area.... Bodymen/painters are ALLWAYS gonna be needed.... ;D

Wow...that is a nice build. I like the older racing cars a lot better than the new. You did an awesome job on it. My parents used to have a '65 Falcon...but it was nothing like that!  Jerry |
