usually after you find one you looking for then people gonna start asking you for a job, aslo how much metal shaping work do you have i see some shops that have one car need to make couple body parts after that its all fab work so is this job is metal shaping job all day every day or just whatever it needs and after that its making flat parts doing patch work ?

It's OK for now.... graduate in December from schooling.... So I can sit in a office somewhere
What are you going to school for? Sitting is ok, you can rest your leggs so you can build cool racecars

where right now in the middle of this build
















and this one as well













we're just about finished up with this one.

















we have some other projects i don't have pics of all this computer. we have a fabricator that is really good. you tell him what you want and walk away.

we have John the metal shaper right now. who is good but is behind on the work. cause he had to baby sit the other guys. then had to fix there work after they left.

honestly i think if we had one more shaper and one guy that was good for patch panels and doing the grunt work we'd be golden.

Wow

Those pictures are intimidating, he is better then just good. From the looks of it he might be one of the best metal shapers out there. So I'm sure who ever you hire old John will be hard to impress.

What does a job like this pay?

there are a lot of variables considering the pay. experience, do you have your own tools, how well you work with others etc.

i don't do the hiring or make the pay scale. those questions are better left to Scott the owner of the shop.

I would love to work there! I still think I am much more entry level at this point to even consider it, but I would get my old jeep up and running for that commute, bout an hour and a half each way would be a bargain for being around all those machines and cars!
