"When the student is ready, the teacher comes..." I taught for the Job Corps and spent five years as an automotive and welding instructor at a charter high school for at-risk youth. The majority of my students were tough, former gang members, and the outcomes were excellent. Curriculum included chassis reconditioning, engine and automatic transmission rebuilding, and all phases of welding. The fully equipped shop setting had ample tools and textbooks plus the resources of the local community college.
Students trained year round, five days per week, three hours per day, for an average of fourteen months. Some stayed two years or longer. Clearly, this was an optimal learning environment. For the classic truck hobbyist and restorer, time like this is simply not available. Learning mechanics, welding, and vehicle maintenance requires night school. Better yet, a "Night School" within the pages of CLASSIC TRUCKS that can be studied at your convenience!
Classroom At Home
Think of this as distance learning or a correspondence course in mechanics and welding. You provide the shop space, and CLASSIC TRUCKS provides a monthly lesson. To keep it real, I have created a downsized shop facility for your benefit. After all, not everyone has a state-of-the-art shop for truck projects. These days, folks who have a home garage are grateful! In the coming months, in step with hands-on mechanical lessons, I'll share the floor plan for a fully functional, professional shop. Yes, you can learn and work within limited space!
Learning to rebuild, maintain, and repair your truck, we'll start with basics. Monthly lessons will include theory, hands-on projects and useful mechanical tips. The goal is professional, safe, and dependable work, the kind that will keep you cruising--rather than calling for a tow truck!
As for cost, well, you can't beat this offer: With each copy of CLASSIC TRUCKS, you can attend "Night School" free! Yes, the tuition and lab fees are already paid, and you can study at your own pace. Welcome to the class!
