Hey everyone, it's Ben with the Pumkinator Cutlass wagon, build thread here- Pumkinator '79 Cutlass wagon

I'm currently working in a hot rod shop in Georgia. Working here has been fun but not quite what I was originally looking for. I want to keep my options open for working elsewhere so I'm spreading the word locally and out of state.

Ideally I would like to work in a shop that caters to all hot rod markets but is highly into pro-touring based transformations. I would like to be in a shop that is innovative, thinks out of the box, and builds high end cutting edge street machines that are highly detail orientated. I would like to be in a position where my design ideas can take form in fabrication on shop projects. My personal cars are built to be beat up on a track, and I would like to work in an environment where the shop builds some of the cars to do the same. I maintain high standards in my personal life and would like to work in an environment where the shop has high standards in dealing with clients, employees, and within the community. I'm genuine and fun to be around, work easily with others, and I don't have a big ego. I enjoy working in an environment where employees see each other as family and work well as a team to produce the overall best final product.

I can work in pretty much any area of a hot rod shop, from tearing down the cars as they first come in to meticulous detailed final assembly. My strongest skills and favorite areas to work in lie in design and fabrication, and although I can do it, my least area of shop experience is in finish body and paint. I have no problems communicating directly with clients and fellow employees and can effectively discuss the scope of the project verbally and visually.

In a nutshell here's what's on my resume-

Schooling:
Bachelor's in Industrial Design/ Transportation Design emphasis, Brigham Young University
Associate's in Collision Repair/ Street Rod emphasis, Utah Valley University

Work Experience, Automotive:
Store General Manager- Tunex
Shift Manager- Firestone
Fabricator / Technician- BullDawg Muscle cars, Excel Muscle Car Restoration, Firestone and Les Schwab
Sales- Super Shops, Firestone, and Pep Boys

Work Experience, Design:
Hot Rod design and renderings- Street Rod Designs (My own Company, link below)
Design Department Manager- Let's Logo
Graphic and Marketing Designer- Let's Logo

I come from a long background of building street machines and drag racing and have joined the Pro-touring scene in the last few years. My personal cars perform well in both venues.

If you work in a shop and/ or know of an open position in one in your area, any info you can send me would be appreciated. I am open to relocating. I have lived on both the east and west coasts and in the Rocky Mountains. I have several family members in the mid west and would be very open to settling down there somewhere. Thanks for passing on the word guys!
