Anybody want to move to St George?
 
Speedtech is in need of a GOOD car builder with experience in all aspects of car building.

St George is probably one of the nicest places to live. Great Weather, lots of outdoor activities from boating to rock climbing. and about everything in between.
if your interested let me know.

Good luck Blake!! It is tough to find good people!! Especially someone that can qualify as a builder and cover all of the bases.

St George is beautiful!! Great place to live!

I'd move there just for the ability to own and fabricate cans. free America rules!

I was interested -- but then I realized I'd have to show up every day... and that would interfere with all the other stuff I do. LOL

Man I wish I could convince my wife. She has a great job tho. We've been talking about leaving California to but didn't want to go to far from family, Utah would be perfect. My 68 camaro build isn't on here but I think I'm a well rounded builder. Hey and all my suspension is Speed Tech so thats got to help.

I might have to Fred Flintstone her and drag her there.

I've got a word of advice to all the youngsters out there. If you always want to be employed, go to a good trade school and learn some skills. It seems EVERYONE I know in this business is looking for additional good help!

Welding, then advanced composites and CAD. Because I want to racecar if I ever grow up.

Soooooo true. Hands on doesn't seem to be a priority in our school system, bummer. I tossing around, with one of my employee's, opening up a trade school. The union, which i only partially agree with, has a trade school, but limited in the trades (primarily residentual).

Good luck Blake, you'll get somebody. If i've learned anything in biz, its "quality finds quality, it just takes time"....It was nice seeing you at sema, good luck with the new ventures. I've reffered three C-10 chassis and two 2nd gen (mustang or camaro i cant remember which lol) possibilities to ya...

Smart move--this will probably take you a lot further than a master's in English . . . Don't ask me how I know.

I'm jealous of guys and girls who get to go to work at places like Speedtech that just design, build, and continue to create more cool go-fast stuff. If I could count, I'd totally take up engineering to enter such a business . . .

Original Poster: It's awesome that this community can act as a conduit to finding the right person for the job--best of luck!

If your around the SF Bay Area, Deanza and Chabot colleges have great CNC machine programs and are good in some other hands on trades. My nephew is in his 2nd year of the CNC program but, lucky for him the instructor is "old school" and makes manual machine operation part of the curriculum in the AA degree. While his welding and manual machine skills might not be on par with mine his CNC and CAD skills blow me away.

So now time to get Serious.
