        great work, he works unafraid of it..

        I only began to learn on a wheel wells with many curves...
        18 american is real easy. that is what he has in vid.

        to me the labor is waiting for anodize/harden. paint does not do it..in fact paint delays it.

        a car is easy to gain, just keeping battery good...may go through some suspension parts along the way as it earns on that giant quarter.

              He makes it look so easy. I could watch stuff like this all day long.

              Thanks for the great video!

                That just made me feel completely and utterly inadequate as both a man and someone who likes to build cars. Maybe in another 20 years I could be there if I started today... or maybe sooner. Freakin wow.

                      beating the wheel well opening shape into that flat panel over a giant block of wood..... Good Lord - where do you learn how to move metal like that - he's got a bunch of videos on youtube, one more impressive than the next - all old school. Wowzerific.

                        I've done quite a bit of body work but I know what I am - a hack and a parts changer. I keep cars out of the wrecking yard at best. This man is an artist. I bow to a master.

                          I've seen body guys repair crash damage with similar tools, that's impressive. This is 10x that skill. Wow!

                            I truly hope someone used that as a mold to make the new stamping dies from.... truly amazing.

                              When I was a Mac Tool Man I had a young guy in a Body Shop had skills just like that, went out of bussiness, no one would pay for that kind of work at the time. He would not turn hack dont know what he does now but his skills are wasted
