When i was in higschool (95-96) The welding class / Shop class / Automotive class instructor bought a junked camaro, 73 i think it was, had us fix the body, clean and reinforce the chassis, fix the lights, strip the interior, build a roll cage, rebuild a 400, swap in gears and fix the 4 speed manual tranny

through donated parts we built a pretty dang decent drag car, those of us with waivers, health insurance and car insurance were then allowed to take it for a run down the strip

i think things may have changed since then

yea in wyoming they really havent taken that kinda stuff away because thats were most of the jobs are. in drafting welding and automotive also woodworking but the whole point of the woodworking is to go though all of the classes to get to construction tech.
