High School Auto Shop Makeover... We need your help!

Hi Everyone!

A friend of mine, Rod Hill, is an auto shop teacher at Los Banos High school out in Northern California.

Rod does an awesome job teaching auto shop... teaching kids how to restore cars, build hot rods and rebuild engines.

Only problem is... his shop is lacking a lot of the basic tools needed to get the job done.

UTI is sponsoring a High School Auto Shop "Makeover"... and awarding $25,000 to the high school that gets the most votes.

You can click on this link and VOTE for Los Banos High School:

But don't take my word for it that Rod's shop needs the $25,000...

Watch the videos.

I know Rod hams it up a bit... slave driving the kids... but all joking aside, look at his shop, and then look at the others... I mean sheesh, the high school with the most votes looks like they can afford THREE instructors! And they look like they have a lot of equipment and tools already. Rod's classroom is a small shop that is ill-equipped and he has been able to make work for the community, and for people in need.

Again... Vote now... Los Banos High... http://utigarage.com/class-scholarship

All you have to do is click on Los Banos High, enetr your e-mail and then click on a link that they will send you that just makes sure you are a real person. It's safe.

They are 1500 votes behind... and with your help, they can WIN!

And who wins?

The kids...

I thank you,

Sam

done, i know the auto shop program vanished from the high school i attended 2 yrs after i graduated, its a vital service that is rapidly vanishing from schools and i'll gladly do what i can to help

 

What Slick said...I headed up a team in the Santa Clara High School auto shop when the "Anti Hot Rod" auto shop teacher went on vacation. We took a stock '30 'A' Coupe, channelled it, overhauled a '41 59A engine and rebuilt a '38 box. '39 pedals, bracketry made next door in Metal Shop, just 2 periods a day...Finished car in 11 days, drove it out.

Dick Beith (later originator/owner of ET Mags) was our student teacher that year for our metal shop, google him for info on Bonneville LSR.
Crew included Joe Esperanca and Eddie Souza...no slackers here!

You got my vote, by the way....Long live High School Auto Shop!

 

Done, they yanked the shop programs from our local high schools years ago, everyone's a computer tech now!!! Glad to see there's still some programs out there.
