ACT II student Andrew seen taking the spare tire off the back tailgate of a Jeep. This Jeep will be his senior project.

ACT II student Josh seen here working on his senior project. He got a little surprise when he sanded the paint off the car. It has had a lot of prior repairs and some of those need to be repaired again. There's one thing about auto body, you have to be ready for any type of repair and be able to think on your feet in all situations.

ACT II students Ronnie and Corey are putting body filler on a dent on this Honda CRV. After the body filler is cured, they will block sand until the dent is filled and smooth.
