Project Build Program
Bench time, real metal, your project — guided by people who build for a living.
The Project Build Program is intensive, personalized shop time: you work on an actual build with direct coaching, not a classroom demo. Limited seats. Serious fabricators and committed beginners both welcome.
Introducing the program
You are in the shop with Pro Shaper — not watching from the sidelines. We structure the days around your goals and the project on the lift, with clear milestones and honest feedback.
Expect long hours, sharp tools, and decisions that matter. We keep the group small so instruction stays personal and the work stays real.
What this experience is
Hands-on fabrication and restoration inside a working shop. You will wheel, planish, weld, fit, and problem-solve alongside coaches who do this work every week.
There is no scripted “course kit.” Progress comes from repetition, correction, and sticking with a real panel or assembly until it earns its place on the car or in the build.
Why this is different
Most training either demos techniques in isolation or keeps you on practice pieces that never ship. Here, the stakes are real: timelines, fit, and finish matter.
You get the tools, the space, and the pressure of actual client-level work — with mentorship so you do not learn the hard lessons alone.
Who this is for
Restorers chasing better panels. Fabricators leveling up. Anyone tired of guessing and ready to commit focused time at the bench.
You do not need to be a pro — you do need patience, respect for the tools, and the discipline to show up ready to work.

Program details
Scheduling is built around your project and skill level. Days run in the shop with structured goals — layout, shaping, welding, assembly, or surfacing — depending on where the build needs you.
We discuss scope before you commit so expectations are clear: what you can realistically move in two weeks, what needs longer, and what you should prep before arrival.
Pricing
- 2-week block (15 days) $250 / day
- Extended stay (2+ weeks) $200 / day
Personalized schedule, project-based curriculum, limited availability. We will confirm dates and deposit after a short intake call.
