High School Mechanics

Working on cars is working on cars. It doesn't really matter the decade, working on cars has the same fascination now as it did back then. Speed, design, performance — cars have always been on the leading edge of current technology. Kayhi auto students are pictured here with their teacher, Mr. Shelton, as they check out a 2009 Dodge Charger. This modern shop is missing a few of the unique tools of the trade more common to garages of yesteryear. Also note that Mr. Shelton no longer carries an old school clipboard.
