Flat Panels to Full Front Ends

Advanced Track

For installers who can already lay a flat panel and want the work that pays. Bumpers with sensors, compound curves, full hoods, multi-panel alignment and the software that makes them repeatable — finished with a live vehicle install and an instructor-graded assessment.

Upcoming Classes

When It Runs

Classes are kept deliberately small, so a week fills and stays filled. A sold-out week still takes names — we call the waiting list first when a seat opens.

Day By Day

The Curriculum

Dated against the October 5 – 11, 2026 cohort. The shop is closed Fridays, so a Friday inside a course week is a rest day rather than a teaching day.

Saturday, October 10
