From the ashes this Firebird rose: CNC students restore vintage car
PRINCE GEORGE–After six years and more than 1,000 hours of work, students from CNC’s Motor Vehicle Body Repairer program have resurrected a 1970’s vintage muscle car.
You wouldn’t even know by looking at it, that the Pontiac Firebird was nothing more than a skeleton of a Trans Am when Aaron Wall, Ron Loyie, and Jason McKinnon started the program in 2017.
“I wanted to bring a project that students would have a passion for.”– Byron Hayashi, Instructor, CNC Motor Vehicle Body Repairer
The process of putting the car together wasn’t all a smooth ride, in fact, McKinnon mentions that one of the most annoying parts of refurbishing the piece of metal was lining the parts up correctly.
