Any interest in a rust repair class?

I may have an opportunity to offer a weekend sheet metal rust repair patch fabrication and installation class this summer in Raleigh NC.
Is there anyone here who would be interested in attending? I have no information on when or how much yet, it's still in the embryo planning stage, but it would be reasonable.

Location keeps me from attending but I am sure interested in learning. If you made it available in a DVD I'd buy it.

I would be covering basic metal forming using primarily hand tools available and affordable to the home shop. This would not be in my shop, but rather at TechShop.

I think the DVD thing is a great idea!

It wouldn't be expensive to record or to produce, either.

I'm interested. Need more details though. Can I bring some oil canned panels as an extra credit project?

I'll be needing some rusted and/or damaged panels to demonstrate repair techniques on. An oil canned panel to shrink out would be a great project. Chasing the shrink is a bodywork technique, not running after a psychiatrist!Just don't bring me a bed side to flatten, that can take several days alone! Unless you want the stretched panel cut out and replaced, which is what I would likely do.
