Painter/Restoration/Custom/Body "combo guy"
I'm looking for a new job, didn't quit the old one yet, in northern IL or southern WI. Right now i am the painter at a restoration shop that is moving toward collision due to the bosses son taking over and not being a manager but being a manager. I feel my talents are being wasted here and have been for awhile now. The last "old" car i have worked on was last spring and that car has won many awards since, it was a 56 Chevrolet 210/bel-air full restomod. I have an extreme passion for any cars that someone has put time and effort into to make it their own. I mainly have worked there for as long as i have because we have done at least 1 resto type of project a year but usually 2-3 and this year 0 with none in the near future. Im looking for anything in a resto type of shop, preferably a pro-touring type of shop but that will be hard to find around here. I really don't know what else is out there in my area. I have many skills for example i am very good at paint, custom paint, body work, welding mig/tig, body fab, assembly of painted body, most mechanical, and i have an extreme attention to detail. I also have great vision for custom work and flowing of body lines and custom ideas. If you guys could help me maybe point me in the right direction that would be great, or if there is a shop out there that needs someone like me that would be even better.
Thank You
Michael
