I don't know that there are specifically any "schools" for this, as it's such a specialized trade. You will need to know all the body shop basics, but to get hired by a place like this, you will also need to show some creative ability and problem solving skills. A good way would be to get some experience at a conventional body shop, while building your own custom car and documenting the process. You have to understand that this is a VERY competitive field and there are not a lot of openings for car customizers. If you can show that you have both skill and creativity, you may be able to talk your way into a shop at some point. The alternative is to start at the bottom and work your way up, which is a long and frustrating process. Some of these vehicles represent investments of 100 grand or more, and they're not going to let just anybody work on them.
Does anyone know of a old school/baja parts place ...
