30 years ago I’d be all over having a go at an opportunity like this. I’m a big fan of RS and their philosophies on how they design and execute their builds. I’ve always gotten the vibe that it’s a great place to work as the folks there are so passionate about what they do and that’s a huge reason why they set the bar IMHO.
Makes me happy to see you guys do this as it’s so important to keep these skills alive and growing. I’m one of the elder statesmen at my place of employment and the first thing I tell the young guys I work with..”Never be intimidated to ask me questions or for help….I’m happy to help you and teach you stuff. I learned the skills I know because someone took the time to help me when I was young”
20 years old here, 6 years of welding and fab, huge fan of y’all, have worked for cal automotive creations but long commute from omaha nebraska lol
I'd be all over this if I didn't live on the other side of the Pacific Ocean (Australia) ......
Love your work, and good luck finding someone who will fit in, which I have no doubt you will......
Man, i wish i could go back to 20 again. Knowing now, what i didn't know then, I'd pack my shit up and move there without hesitation, if offered a job. Finding these guys was both a blessing, and a curse. The blessing, was laying eyes on one of the nicest cars I've ever seen. The 87 GN. 🔥🔥🔥 The curse, was instantly coming to the realization that i will never own said beast. 😞 I can't sleep or even think of anything else. Thanks RS. lol.
My quick story.
I worked for a hotrod shop in Massachusetts for two years while in college. I needed a Flathead motor for my A; I reached out on a whim and they happened to have one. I worked it off, and then started part time. I built that model A in a carport in New England weather. So for a initiation fee of 3500 and a few bucks in tools (and a lot of time), I got into the world.
I ended up getting picked up by GM out of college, and am now in Michigan. I miss the family shop atmosphere. Need money!
But when I was leaving, an older guy joined the shop to replace me. He said that he was at a point where he was willing to enjoy what he did day-in-day-out and sustain rather than chase a dollar doing what he hated. So only other question I would think would help on a video like this would be to address pay/ life balance. I think a lot of hesitation comes from being able to support a life while working the job, and not just “can I bend this sheet metal”.
Just my 2c
Great idea to have this search on youtube. Loving your company and products. Good luck!
TOTALLY AWSOME!!!!! FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!!!!
I’d move across the states to work there. I’m a career body man, looking for a change and to get out of PA. I would put my blocking skills up against anyone out there. Always willing to learn new techniques and work with the newest tools, I’ve got plenty of pictures of my work in high detail over the years. I’m an absolute surgeon with a right angle grinder. I’ve owned a small shop for a few years and work alone. Sheet metal fab all done with stuff laying around no high end stuff, I’ve only dreamed about that. Very skilled in very fine and nuanced hand sanding to achieve proper edges and radius, anything under hood etc. I can block but I can also sculpt so to speak.
I have been obsessed with the work you guys do for so many years, the sheer joy i would feel coming to work at the roadster shop everyday, would be unrivaled.
I’ve been browsing your product line and would be so stoked to put a Dynacorn body on something.
Seems like an awesome company! I live in the Netherlands and we don’t have such shops in here, only tuners, regular resto shops, but nothing compares to this. Would definitely apply if you guys had a business in Europe.
Would love to work at a place like Roadster Shop... But I sure as hell don't have a chance.
You guys gotta get outta Illinois.
1:15 ~ good job ! 🤟😁😎😀
Freakin cool....... Greetings from india 🇮🇳🤠🤠🤩
This would be my dream job and I feel I’d be qualified, but it’s be a long commute from Buffalo NY…😁
Maaaaaaan…. What an opportunity; I would come introduce myself in a HEARTBEAT-but unfortunately reside in NC…
9:12 ~ very good! 🤟😎🚘😊
I will honored to work work with you guys cos I love what you and your brother do. But the problem is am in Ghana west Africa
G'day from West Australia,😉
It's funny watching this video and here is why:--
From the age of 7 I have dreamed of building a workshop like yours.
I am a 3rd gen Automotive Mechanical Engineer, I have learned black smithing from a 7th gen black smith.
I have learned coach building from some of the oldest familys of coach building in Sydney NSW.
And on goes the list of incredibly talented people my father could expose me to. From a very young age I spent most of my so called free time in in workshops of one kind or other.
Here I am on a Continent that has done it's best to wipe out all of the old school skils.
About to turn 59, 42yrs trade life still working on my dream. To pass on 3 generations of skills, all while looking afer my mother with dimentia who is about to turn 92.
Interesting what can happen in peoples lives on this Continent.
Yet Still not defeated, Still Passionate about My life long Goal, Still determined, Still doing what I love, Regardless of the Overloards and there Compliance Control Tactics.
I think you need to document your experiences with a series of videos, so none of it gets lost. It would be a shame to lose your perspective on the entire industrial revolution. I would think your family would be pleased to have the representation.
@@headfirst6227 Also funny to read, My 3rd wife started doing videos about a week ago regarding general automotive break down servicing, instead of preventative servicing.
And only last night said we should do videos regarding all aspects of my various skills I.E panel beating ? Old school style) coach building , engineering ? Or reenginering in many cases).
Thanks for further confirmation 😉🙂👍👍
Same Roadster Shop from Elgin back in the day?
It would be a pleasure to work with you guys even for free as a apprentice but I have no experience
