(Piston Foundation: Stamford, CT; Runge Cars: Alexandria, MN) -- The Piston Foundation and Runge Cars announced the release of a new Petrolicious film documenting a five-day coach-building workshop for Piston Scholar Vincent Ramirez.

Produced by Petrolicious, a Piston Community Partner, the film follows Ramirez as he learns directly from Chris Runge, owner of Runge Cars. The workshop provides a close look at the mentorship, training, and professional access needed to help bring emerging talent into the collector car industry.

Over five days, Ramirez worked alongside Runge to learn traditional coach-building and metal-shaping techniques, including fabrication, welding, and metal finishing. He also applied the digital tools Runge Cars incorporates into its coach-building process: 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and 3D printing.
