Students in the Auto Tech program at Colorado Northwestern Community College have a big project this month. Dale Updike runs the program on the campus in Craig.
“We’ve got a ’59 Chevy Apache Suburban, with full windows. It was donated to us by a guy here in town. We’re not going to do a ton to the body. We’re going to clean it up a little bit and put a satin clear on it so it looks good. The big thing will be under the hood when it’s done. The goal is to have it so that it will spin the tires.”
Updike has nine students who are working on the vehicle. He says the students also learn how to fix cars by doing custom repairs for $50 an hour, plus parts.
ASE Certified Auto Technology is a two-year program at CNCC. They hope to have the ’59 Suburban ready for the Parade of Lights in Craig on Nov. 25.
