I agree with 76GMC,

The chassis fab will give you a lot of design foundation that you will use in other areas. Remember that the main thing to get out of a school like that is the foundation to earn a decent living. There are a lot more jobs doing routine car or truck repair than there are doing custom stuff. Not many people come straight out of school and find work in a hot rod shop. Learn the fundamentals first, even if it is the least interesting. They will serve you well later. As for the Military, they do provide great opportunity for training, and the training is very good because the students go into real world situations where people's lives depend the work they do. It is a great way to get free education and real experience you can use later. I believe the Air Force has the best training, but I am prejudiced after spending 24 years there.
