I am thinking about taking a course at our local "Boces" center. It is an intro to auto body repair...

They cover things such as dent repair, basic welding, etc...

I am a complete novice when it comes to working on vehicles. This class starts up this week and I thought I may be able to gain some good knowledge...

Any thoughts?

Even if the instructor doesn't have a brain it would be good for having access to equipment that you can work with before purchasing your own and being in an environment with others interested in learning the same skills.

I would go for it.  You can share some of your new found knowledge here with those of us who remain a novice in the area of body work.

The day I am able to pass on any type of knowledge on automobiles to the members on this DB is the day when hell will have frozen over.

There are some smart dudes on this DB that have probably forgotten more than I will ever learn!!!
