High School Bodyshop project

  1. I teach high school auto collision repair. Here are some pictures of a Taylor Tot stroller we customized. Almost all of the paint work was done by high school students.

    Thank God for auto shop,metal shop.wood shop,crafts,band.drafting, and the class that had the girl with the tight sweater, can't remember the class though. If it wer'nt for those I never would have made it through High School. Had to go to a couple of night classes and summer school just to get through as it was.lol. But those shop classes helped me shape my future and exposed me to some pretty cool stuff. Didn't letter in anything sports wise but I did win a trophy at the Plymouth Trouble shooting contest for our school. Anyone remember those. Big stuff back them.lol I think schools need a little less Hi tech and more hands on for these kids. Aint nothing like the satisfaction in making or help making something with you hands. Keep up the good work you are doing with the future kids of our country.YRUHOT
