Hey all, new guy here. Been lurking for awhile and figured I'd sign up and say hey and maybe post some pics of what I do. I'm 24 years old and currently a combo guy in a fairly busy collision shop. Been working in body shops since I was 15 sweeping floors and worked my way up to where I am now. I love this stuff for some reason, though it gets tiring and stressful sometimes. I also have a decent sized shop on my property that I do a fair amount of collision work out, but mainly custom work. Glad I found this site because it's full of professionals compared to 101. Love checking out what everyone is working on and pics of their shops.

Anyway this might end up being a huge picture post but I figured I'd post some stuff in one thread rather than multiple threads.

First up is one of my nicer projects that apparently when finished by the owner is being shot for minitruckin magazine....

when it was dropped off....

yea I do a lot of work in the minitrucking scene, kind of what i'm known for most around my neck of the woods. though lately i'd rather do collision work, as always that's where the money is. yea i noticed a few young guys on here which is awesome. the shop i work has nobody under the age of 50 working in it besides myself! that's a good thing though because I learn a lot from the veterans every chance I get.

That's some nice looking work! I am younger myself(27). It's nice to see that there are some young people getting into this trade. Keep posting the pics, I like to see others work.

the truck had lambo doors when i came in, i had no parts in that. not really my style, but it was a universal kit that the owner installed previously.
