young restoration student looking for an internship
« on: November 16, 2009, 10:53:18 AM »
hi guys im looking for a internship with a motorcycle shop that concentrates on vintage bikes either restorations or custom builds. im curently a automotive restoration major going for my bachelors degree. im a junior at the moment with alot of automotive background worked at a top notch shop for the past two summers but am looking for something in the motorcycle industry. if you guys know of any shops that might want to take on a hardworking intern for the summer let me know. also a private collection or museum would also be great. thanks ryan.

Ryan,

Where the hell are you? Fill out the rest of your info.

Sounds like a fun thing to do. Good luck.

No kidding, you can major in Automotive Restoration?  That's pretty cool.

Just a shadetree mechanic here, but there's lots of potential leads here.  Hope you find something!
