LTI... I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. I participated in skillUSA/ VICA competitions andwent to nationals for paint and collision 2 years in a row. So LTI gave me $35,000 to go to school here in indy. I learned more at home flipping cars and surfing the internet than one year @ LTI. One year doesn't even scratch the surface of how technical collision repair is. Also ICar certified from my higschool career center. Went to butler partimme for the past 3.5 years and graduated early back in april with my bachlors in accounting.

My parents actually live in elkhart. I was born and raised there.

Ya I have an Ex-Brother-in-law that went there and wasn't real impressed with his skills afterwards. I actually checked them out when I was looking and wasn't very Impressed with their facility. Elkhart is a hop skip and jump from me. Nice to meet you.
