Wanna be a body man, huh? Check your community college website. Usually info there. Also consider audio installer cuz they get taught a lot of fiberglass work.

=) I just looked into it and classes started last week for autobody 1. I am waiting for an answer if I can enroll 1 week late, hopefully I can so that the whole course including, auto body repair 1&2 and auto paint 1&2 plus damage appraisal and custom bodywork course can be completed by summer 2004.

Tech writer for a company that shall remain un-named. I write user manuals (with the help of spell check though ) I'm outta here soon though, I can't stay here. I feel like a slob, but the money is not too too bad. It's just bad LOL

I know Centenial collage has bodyman courses. If you have absolutely no knowledge of bodywork take a course called map-30.

That's what I hope to do eventually, but right now I'm working and investing in real-estate so that when I'm ready to do it I have money to open a shop/other business, and still go to school.

Good luck in school man, I worked in a body shop for almost a year and had the choice to take it in college all paid for from the shop I worked for but I refused it, I didn't really enjoy the work too much but there's a lot of money to be made in that field. Hope you enjoy your new career
