That's it. I'm done. I quit. I put in my two weeks today. Two weeks from now, I'll no longer be an employee of Regal Roadsters ( http://www.regalroadsters.com ) I quit my job to start my career. I'll be starting as a CNC setup tech with the intent to advance to a CNC programmer :)

Jeff, with the bodywork skills you showed us, I'm sure you'll do fine in the CNC world.

Thanks all :) I was a bit under employed there, all things concidered. On top of being an ASE certified tech, I'm a certified Tech Ed teacher, and nearly have a Masters degree in Management. It was a good job, no question about that, but there wasn't enough thinking involved, and not much problem solving. That's the problem with restoring cars, it's a lot of paint by number :lol: It wasn't going anywhere either. The company is small, the only person above me is the owner so there was no room for advancement. With the new job, I fully intend to be the Director of Manufacturing by the time I retire :thumbup:

mastercam is a good programing system ,
a one day course was all i needed to bodge my way through the lathe side,
and i think the milling is 3 to 5 days .
plenty of work for a good programer here in houston if you fancy a change of scene.
good luck
