clubs/shops in seattle area

[122wagon]

alright so heres the scoop. im a 17 year old who has a passion for old iron of all kinds. i really want to customize cars for my lifes work, but i know you have to get started at the bottom. i live in bothell, its near lynwood/bellevue/woodinville, north of seattle a little ways. i have two questions, are there any kustom clubs around here? second question, im lookin for work, but more im just looking for a place to go an learn, if i could get paid then all the better. i have mild experience with body work and other things, but like i said im a young eager mind who just plain loves old cars. so if anyone is from around here and might want to make a friend. let me know

my names jake

thanks

there are a few Clubs around...but mainly more Hotrod oriented. And there isnt anything wrong with that.... its just that there arent as many customs as the are hotrods around... You are in good company in the northend bro, theres some cool guys up there.

I don't have job for you, but I do give metal-shaping/metal-finishing, and gas-welding lessons if you are interested. $50 for a two hour lesson. These skills might help you get a job later.You can see some of my work by going to my web site and clicking on "my latest work"

watch out for the coffins, iif they like you you have to prospect for a year, and bartend naked in their club house, and guard their cars at shows.......just a rumor watch out for rich the kid aka chopper hes got a knife

There's good folks around to learn from. K-Member, his father, and a bunch of the guys who keep them company know what's up. JKustom is probably one of the nicest young guys I've met (don't tell him I said that).

Just get to a show or something and meet some of these fellas. It'll roll from there.

[122wagon]
