MiniTruckin builders in So. Cal.- I want 2 help

I want to start building a mini and get back into the scene like I was a few years ago. But I want to learn more first. So if anyone in so. cali is building a mini, I would love to help to get some hands on experience and learn more about everything. I had the old MIC do my old truck, so I never really got to dive into it like I wanted to. Now seeing all the nice trucks, I want to buy a project and start my own. I live in LBC and work in south OC so anywhere, is ok with me. Just want to turn some wrenches, learn better fabrications skill and go from there.

IF custums used to do a intern setup. You work for free and learn the ropes as you go.

Where in south oc do you work? i live in south oc

I work in santa ana. right off the 55 and dyer
