i think that may be because we took what we do seriously. most of the people took that class as a blow off class but i actually wanted to learn about the trade. yeah i do have more stuff on an old computer but it crashed and i lost alot of it. i had done pictures of the american flag 929 and a couple of helmets that i did. another one was flamed and one done like the michigan wolverines helmet. alot of my other bikes that were done were also lost in the crash. sucks but i am trying to rebuild my portfolio now. no big deal.
 
hey steve i have a 01 TL1000 i need the two main side plastics, front fender, rear fender and second seat cover with gas tank done. looking for a heavy metallic silver and viper blue two-tone. simple half and half.

let me know.

also, depending on schedule and time i could use the front bumper, hood, left/right fenders and doors done on my newest thirdgen. condition is good just need the paint to match.

well my first year there i had frank antonucci as my autobody teacher and then he got into a car accident then i had pat kelly as my senior year teacher. the first year class was great. we learned alot. second year was messed up because mid way through frank had his accident and was out for most of the year. didnt really do a whole lot that year. first part of the year we would sit and build model cars to get used to working with our hands then we would have a crash course in using the tools of the trade and then get started on the autorama cars and what not. it was cool and i had long hours my 11th grade year working on the 69 dz302 camaro and the convert 57 chevy. i dont know anything about the new teacher so i cant help you at all sorry.

I'll take pics, but it is mainly scraped good, then it folded slightly in 1 spot(pretty much back where it is supposed to be) and 1 spot has a small hole poked in it, but the material there has also pretty much gone back in place

If i get it up to work today, I'll let to snow melt and take pics



and its off a 04 Blazer Xtreme, and a new one is $500 list, so it takes quite a bit to make it worth buying a new one
 
Wow, I just went through your portfolio. Very, very good work. I am definatly going to get ahold of you when the GN is ready for paint.

yeah the only hope unless you have a bunch of money is to start off small with side jobs here and there and get your name out there. im sure eventually i will need some work, if not just a buffing job on the avy :) good luck man!

eh i think i could handle any of that :lol:. starting out in my garage i think is gonna be the best way to start and will probably be the way i will do it and see where it goes from there not to mention i like my new job. everyone there is real nice and they have already been talking to me and a friend of mine about one of us becoming the afternoon shift leader but nothing set in stone.
