other then that hes a dishonest business man i am curious as to what kind of school this really is, as when he does build cars the way he says he does, they do come out well. there has been good cars that have came out of his shop. he does know vipers. the price of that school is honestly very good in comparison to the other schools out there. its like half the price. i wonder if he actually delivers?

**transam98** · 02-17-2008, 04:27 PM

ok I dont really know anything about them other then they are big into dodge.

**transam98** · 02-17-2008, 04:30 PM

only thing I dont like is there is

23 classes
400 hrs
that means there is about 17 hrs per cause
which is only three days of learing something.

cost is $14,500 which comes to $181.25 a day.
