TimmyP from Minnesota!
Hello group, I started doing "bodywork" at 13 on a craped out Dodge Omni
 . And have kept at it for about 20 years. Curently employed as a BMW certified collision tech. I enjoy working on the cars with better fit and finish. Alows me to bring my hobby to work, as it seams every aditional 5 min you spend on metal work you save 10 in filler work=MO Money for me!Other events in between built and raced dirt stock cars(first at 16). Was a production floor welder for a few years(farm equipment and pre-fab steel buildings). Studied Auto Body at North Dakota State College of Sience (graduated at the top of my class). Won ND state and National SKILLS USA autobody competition). Have been breeding 2nd gen camaros, have owned over 20, curently at 8. 81 Z28 in shop right now. Also have a 57 chev BA 2dr post waiting, along with a 28 Model A "ranchero" that I think should be a roadster.Tring to get 14yr old step daughter intereasted as she wants to drive the so rusty the body gona fall of 78 K20 her aunt gave me. And when my elbows are screaming in pain and chest and arms have too many weld burns I run up to Lake Superior and take in a nice 37 deg dive on a shipwreck or two.
