Auto Collision Repair juniors recently reached a major milestone with their first full hood restoration project.
Each student was assigned a damaged hood with dents, scratches, and other surface imperfections. Using industry-standard processes, they completed metal repair, applied body filler, block sanded, primed, and refinished their panels before adding custom paint designs that showcased their creativity.
The completed hoods were displayed for a staff and student vote.
Project Winners:
1st – Jordon Sturgill
2nd – Maylee Griesheimer
3rd – Lynsie Martin
4th – Andrew Connell
5th – Beau LeMaster
6th – Jason Carrol
7th – Mason Rooker
8th – Michael Seymour
9th – Joseph Johnson
10th – Jacob Sisson & Brandon Hamilton (Tie)
Sturgill’s red-and-black flame design earned top honors, but each student successfully completed the full restoration process, from damage repair to final finish.
This project represents the transition from foundational skills to complete panel restoration and refinishing, preparing students for industry certifications, work-based learning, and careers in collision repair.
