    Well, I did the Ford ASSET out of H/S...worked as a Ford Tech until I was 21 (grew to hate cars) went onto CNC machining, but when I got accepted to Wyotech, out went that idea..haha after graduating Wyotech, I became a fabricator at Rolling Bones (left in 07 after 2 years). Now I'm a production fabricator and do cars and such on the side... Once I buy a house, I'll get more serious about the part time gig
