Ron Covell, nationally known for his auto body skills,
demonstrates how to form, shape and weld metal panels for
Wayne Austen’s "How to build a hot rod" class Feb 14.
Nationally known auto body
professional visits Clackamas
vites many professionals - people
who are in the business of building
cars - to his class. He received a
flyer about Covell coming to town,
so he called him to see if he would
speak to the class.
Austen often invites profession
als to his class to talk about every
thing that students need to know
about building a hot rod; where to
find new and used parts, paint and
body work, heating and air condi
tioning, suspension, glass, and
many other topics. The class also
takes at least one field trip each term
to an auto body shop.
While atClackamas, Covell taught
a three hour class sharing his own
personal tips with students. He also
demonstrated how to form, shape
and weld metal panels.
“It was really a fun evening,” said
Austen. “He (Covell) said he’d love
to come back next year.”
