Projects
There is no Substitute for Experience!
Project: 53 Ford Truck
Students modify the frame of our 53 Ford truck. We need to shorten it seven inches and remove some of the frame brackets which were riveted together. Lots of work. We'll bolt the brackets back on once we weld the frame together.
Project: Model T Speedster

Alumni Speak

Anton Savinov
class of 2010
Currently a Freshman in the Engineering Program at Berkeley

“Auto was definitely one of the most influential classes I had at Gunn. I know for sure that I learned the most useful life skills from this class, even more than the other classes at Gunn put together. You know, it's ... funny, I realized when I got to Berkeley that having taken Auto is a huge advantage for me over other engineering students, especially the ones that have never gotten their hands dirty. Mr. Camicia was the cornerstone of my education at Gunn, and I know he will be for many generations of students to come.”
