Hey all,
Yes I oversee the Street Rod & Custom Fab. program for the school. It is a great gig even on a bad day! Great folks, facilites and tooling. Yes, the students keep the shop nice and clean (grads know what I mean)!
Nate, thanks for wearing out your shows with me at Hershey. Who would have thought 33 Pontiac parts would be so rare? 3 days and only one headlamp bucket? Oh well, it was a good time.
Kerry, we have had lots of great students over the years. It's always awesome to see them out there doing what they came out here to learn!
The school has 4 hammers, 3 Metalcraft and 1 Yoder K-90 style which we built from Cook's parts and fabbed the pedestal in house.
I have built two more complete sets of arms starting with Jimmy Hervatin's rough castings, combined with Cook cast arms and lots of rough stock and time! One set went to a good friend and I am fabbing up a steel pedestal for mine in between other commitments.

P.S. we are hosting a public seminar with Fay Butler next month. I will post some details shortly if anyone is interested. Thanks!
