Glen:
I have found the absolute best and most helpful way to go on doing this is to
search out a local high school Vocational shop that offers evening "courses"
to adults in Auto Bodywork. The beauty of this is that the cost is rarely
above $40 for 6-weeks, you work on your own projects under the tutelege of a
professional, and all the tools are there. Sometimes State vocational
programs offer these also, but theirs are more directly for the person
training to be a bodyman. If the program is not overloaded with people, as
they often are, you can maintain enrollment on a non-ending basis. I can't
do this in the local body shop class, but I could inthe auto mechanics class
where just a couple of tire changes/balances, and certainly a disk brake disk
grinding (done by me on their machinery) would more than pay for the class.
