    The cl*** was amazing. I will get some pics posted tomorrow. I would suggest everyone to take this cl***. Gene is an amazing man, plus Alex Gambino was there to ***ist. Bo Huffs son junior was there, also Jere Kirkpatrick from valley forge in the cl***. Learned a great deal, and to think outside of the box when it comes to tooling and fabrication. I am going to be taking more of them, I can not express enough how amazing Gene is. Also so impressed with Alex, he was a great ***istant. Gene would ask Alex, what do you think, or do you love it. Both custom builders have a great deal of respect and their friendship shows.

    Also a side note, for anyone that takes one of his cl***es in the future. Learn to sit back, watch, learn, ask questions to understand..... Not to show a man that has built more cars then some car companies that he is wrong when he is not, or to try and "teach" students it shows your lack of respect, knowledge, skill and false pride.
    Sadly one of the ones that did this is here on the hamb.

    While I was there EBW from here, let me stay at his house. A great guy and friend. Thanks you again Eric for everything.

    I will do a review of it when I post pics. I didn't get a lot of pics as I was taking video.

    Also Jere from valley forge had some great tools that he gave Gene, his quality of work is great. His knowledge of metals and welding was crazy. Hope one day to be that knowledgeable. He gave Eric and myself some great tips on welding, hope to be able to learn from him in the future.

    Your welcome Alex. I totally agree about his speed. I walk fast and I had a hard time keeping pace with him!

    Gene and yourself are true masters at this. I am honored to have had the chance to experience it.
