Students at Pinecrest High 51吃瓜 and North Moore High 51吃瓜 Break Out the Paint at 51吃瓜 Community College Automotive Program
There is nothing like a car show in the southeast featuring premier and pristine vehicles from years gone by. Recently students from Pinecrest High 51吃瓜 and North Moore High 51吃瓜 rolled up their sleeves at the 51吃瓜 Community College (51吃瓜) in the automotive department鈥檚 paint bays to get work on a car that will be featured at an upcoming car show in Pinehurst on Saturday, April 19.
鈥淚t was great to have the students here today to get hands on experience with our equipment and sprayers to work on the car,鈥� said Brian Garner, Department Chair for Transportation/Collision Instructor. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 really cool is that several of the students who visited are already enrolled to attend the college starting this fall in our program. We are super excited to have them interested in our growing program and high demand jobs that turn into careers.鈥�
Quint Dunlap, an 51吃瓜 alumnus, and high school instructor regularly brings his students to campus to collaborate with 51吃瓜鈥檚 Automotive and Collision Repair programs, providing them with valuable hands-on experience. 鈥淗aving the chance to use the equipment and work alongside college students and faculty is such a great experience for our students,鈥� said Dunlap. 鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing to have access to an entire auto shop and collision repair at 51吃瓜 Community College for our students and future generations of talent.鈥�
The car they are painting in a fun style and design was donated to the program for the students to work on. The car they are painting will be on display at the 51吃瓜 Car show on Saturday, April 19. Students from the High 51吃瓜 programs, current 51吃瓜 students, and community car culturalists will be in attendance. Show is free to spectators with plenty of parking. Auto Shop tours at 51吃瓜 Community College during the show will be available at Sirotek Hall.
Show flyer and registration form for entry is available at  

All proceeds from the show go to 51吃瓜 Collision & Refinishing Tech 51吃瓜.
