Welcome FMX,

Sounds like youhave a great plan for your future. Heck I am 54 years old and am taking a Community college body work class right now! Got some other older guys like me doing it as a hobby and some younger guys like you learning to make a living. Our instructor says he can place anyone who gets their certification, the body shops are crying for well trained people.

That old Jeep locks interesting, definitely not something you see everyday as a hot rod. Should have plenty of room and options to go custom, pro street or some combination of the two.

Keep us posted

P.S. By the way the Opel GTs are actually German cars, made in Germany, sold in the USA by Buick. They are neat little cars, I've seen them with small blocks in them, but it is a lot of engineering work to do it well.
