    Is there still room left? Plans have changed and I can get the time off.
     
  15. Man, I would love to come down and do this again. Its just cool to hang out with Gene . He's very knowledgeable and has soooo much history. If I were closer, I'd be there. We were lucky enough to watch Gene spray BC Johnnys car in the Sikkenss training facility. He painted from 12:45 PM till 3:45AM in the morning. He got one hours sleep and then was at the Langley Car show as a guest of Honor and stood all day. Then Top Ten Customs had an open house after the show where Gene danced the night away!! WTF? That man is super human and never runs out of steam!
    Here's my pictures from Langley BC. I spent Wednesday to Saturday Night with Gene and the class. One of the best 5 days of my life. Take lots of pictures!!!! Page 8 is where it should have started. So if you look at all the pictures. It started at Top[ Ten Customs, then went to painting the Green car and then the car show and then back to Top Ten customs! What a week! If you haven't been to his class, its well worth the $150 a day. And don't worry about if he wants to keep doing the class till ......... He won't quit until you want to. I think we were doing 12 hour days. If you live close, go see him while you can!!

    I really want to attend one. I am gonna have to wait until he has one back at his shop because San Jose is too far away.
     
  21. Man, having this at Gambino customs is like striking gold twice. Also don't forget, Gene only has about another 25 years in this business and the way he is booked , it may be that long before he has time for another workshop in this area!! He's like 83 and not getting any younger (or older)!
