Anyone have any tips. I know a guy who owns a custom hot rod shop (http://www.cdidit.com/cdidit/Home.html) Would the best thing to do, be to ask if i could intern there or something? how do you get started with stuff like this?

You don't think i would need any prior experience? I'd feel pretty dumb going in there not knowing anything.98 GT Vert. Mods include: 17" Chrome Bullitt wheels, 13" Dual Piston PBR swap, Steeda Tri-ax, 17lb Chromoly Flywheel, IAC restrictor...

I started in High school. Took two years and went to work as a helper. Been doing it for 32 years now.
It is a hard dirty job, but if you take pride in your work and learn all you can there is a good living to be made.
It takes time and dedication to make it happen. Always be carefull of everything in the shop. I have way to many friends I worked with thru the years that have passed, or are sick from the exposure to chemicals. Alot has change since I started, but most for the better.
Good work is not cheap, and there is a reason for it. You can take a class or two to get you rolling, but you will learn more in a month on the job than you will in a year of class. Expect to be a helper for about two years or more, then just be ready to step up.
