The School Wyotech has come a long way since I was there in 1988; I took a class in the auto upholstery, and custom painting. The other students helped me put new interior in my 41 Chevy coupe street rod. I think the instructor's name was Danny {genuine Draft} Miller. When the class was over the staff was looking over my car, and later they started offering a class in street rod building. I checked the site you suggested and it looks like you are a part of a very talented Family.
