    Wyotech has a program for hotrod building, there are six campuses and the only 1 I know of that doesen't offer the course is massachucets.

    My advice? If your still in high school, take the auto tech courses offered there first. That'll give you a lot of information to base your learning on

    Yes, if you are in high school I recommend the auto tech courses and/or collision and auto body classes. I have taken and still am taking two years of auto tech and one year of collision and auto body. There are kids in that class that thought they would love to work on cars and hot rods and now changed their mind after they had to work on the cars and all and see how much time has to go into it. Good schools I hear of are VC Tech, Wyotech. Where do you live, like what state? VC Tech is in Alabama and Wyotech all over like in California, on the east, etc.

    Don't listen to Matt he is lying to you. Haha just messing, no but he is right. I don't remember the third one in Cali but they are all way up North in Cali like West Sacramento and around there. The one in Pa is in the middle of NOWHERE. Also VC Tech is the same as Wyotech, I will be going to VC and got info on it and the vice pres and some teachers at VC were or are from Wyotech so they know their stuff... So they say they do.
