kustombuiltcars Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Kustom Built Cars is fostering the automotive aftermarket restoration industry for the next generation. Learn valuable skills at this Hot Rod Workshop, building a classic/custom car from start to finish. This 5-month workshop gives hands-on training which includes the evaluation of a project, disassembling the car, rust repair, metal work, body work, basic suspension work, basic engine rebuilding, basic welding and fabrication, painting, color sanding, assembly of the car, and electrical wiring. Through training and mentorship this project aims to inspire the next generation to participate in the automotive restoration/preservation industry by creating hands-on experiences. Kustom Built Cars specializes in pre-1970 vehicles of all makes and models. Kustom Built Cars was started by Jack Weaver, a car enthusiast and builder of 28 years. He is also well-known hotrod/custom shop owner who loves and enjoys custom cars and hot rods. He wants to share his passion and encourage others for generations to come. So he and his friends got together and came up with this awesome workshop so that future car builders of the world would be able to come and learn the fundamentals of restoring a custom car from the ground up. Classic car restoration is a disappearing art and we know there is a need and want for it. We want to find and inspire youth who are eager to learn about the restoration and preservation of classic cars. “In my opinion in another 15-20 years it will be next to impossible to get a hot rod built or a custom car restored, because of the lack of knowledge and inexperienced help available. This along with my story and experience is why I chose to start teaching this trade to people that want to learn it. To pass on an 80 year old tradition and lifestyle to the generations to come. Anyone can buy a hot rod, very few can build one……” Jack Weaver We know that students learn in different ways. Students will always be interested in working with manipulating cars with their hands because it is experiential learning. They learn while they are able to see a tangible project they worked on come together. The need for these programs should not be going away, but should be growing. We would like to get our name out there and see if you have any suggestions for our workshop.

JACK M Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 HMM, So you drag your junker to Colorado and they put you up and you build your own hot rod out of it. An interesting concept. Can I get a scholarship? All kidding aside, I hope this works out for the poster. Its a good idea if it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually provide the car and the $40,000 in the parts that it takes to build the car. There will be a scholarship program coming up in the future!

JACK M Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Even a better deal. No need for a scholarship if you are supplying everything. I take it then you own the project. There is much banter on these forums about getting younger people interested in these trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Uh....it will not be a RESTORED car, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I like the idea myself. One may, and shall pick and poke at the concept and doing so may yield some constructive criticism. I understood it as teaching auto restoration skills by means of hands on hot rod building. I wonder what the cost is for the 5 month course + room & board?
