I used to do autobody

But I have been working in a warehouse the last 16 years. I went to a job interview at a place that makes fire trucks. Now I was mainly a painter but they was looking for a body man I admitted that I did not do a lot of body work but I know how to do it. So he was showing me what they do and how wavy they need to straighten out. And if I was familiar with spray on body filler. I said primer surfacer he said this is thicker it good on pinholes in the body filler. Now there are different kids of primer that are thicker I’ve used them and you can make them thicker. So I have been looking at fire trucks since that and they are not as strait as cars and trucks are. So if I really wanted to go back into autobody and wanted that job I would tell him about that stuff. What do you think ? Do you see what I’m talking about with fire trucks?

@Greenbare they basically offered me what I already make. Long run could be better but not sure. They company used to be a great job when it was family owned. But for now I’m not interested.

I took auto body as a trade for 4 years, back in the day. Things today changed so much, what I've learned back then, doesn't mean a thing today.

@DefiantHeart I’m sure there has been changes. But not enough to make much difference. The bottem line with my question is look at your car how Strait the body is and how strait a fire truck is especially around the windows I have noticed.
