Unfortunately in my diesel core they dont do any chasis work or even mess with welding machines for that matter I've talked to the chasis fab instructor and he is very uptight, he sais only students currently enrolled in his class can work on THEIR vehicles. The dude's a D-BAG

Think about what you say here. That D-BAG may be a member. uptight or not he may be following the rules. Don't bash what you don't know. With that attitude I would have sent you out the door as well. You have to finesse your way into those openings. I'll do this and this and this and this and then maybe you might get your free run. Don't be a butthead. I think in the corporate world it's called networking. Be cool and slide in. J.M.H.O. Relax.

Well I do know a few things.......The other elective classes dont have a problem bringing other peoples vehicles in. For example, Trim will reupholster your car if you buy the materials, Collision will fix your dents, and Paint will fix your sratches. As far as networking, and being cool and sliding in.......this instructor made it clear that this wasnt happening. I tried everything I could think of [ getting my buddy who is already in chasis fab to bring it in for me, offering to pay X amount of money, maybe doing it after hours, getting my instructors to talk to him] The way the class is run is left completely up to the instructor, and this guy wanted no vehicle in his shop other than his student's. And I didnt go in "all knowing" and demand that my truck get worked on ASAP or anything; I talked the instructor humbly and respectfully and I simply got shut down Now after all this IMO [and other students] this instructor is a D-Bag He couldnt even direct me in the right direction for a place thaat could install my bars. So I have a pair of 500$ traction bars sitting in the bed of my truck rusting.

I hear what you're saying. You give some folks a little power over others and they become little Hitlers. I have a boss like that. Good luck.

Truck runs great, she's still holding up quite nicely. I just installed a 4" downpipe back exhaust to my stacks (it sounds amazing) My friend recorded me pulling a sled for 294 ft on tuesday so hopefully that vid will be on youtube soon
