Where can i learn auto mechanics?

Hey, im gonna be starting WMU in Kalamazoo, Michigan next semester (im movin from NY), anyway i wanna learn how to repair cars, work on them, learn the mechanics, basically stuff like how to build an engine, or tranny and stuff..... i wanna learn to work on a car myself.

And i mostly want to learn on muscle cars and customs, basically stuff that runs on carburators... of course, i'll take anything offered...

I dont want a career in auto mechanics, i just want to learn how to work on a car myself...

So, im asking if anyone in the Michigan area know where i can go to learn stuff like this, maybe an auto shop course? or anything similar...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.. :)
