Wow! This guy or guys know their metal!

Andy4639 · 03-10-2009, 06:15 PM

That would just be awsome to be able to do. I wouldn't even begin to know what to do with that stuff.

**LEEVON** · 03-10-2009, 06:16 PM

wow, 22 years old, I've got some catching up to do!

Grapdawg · 03-10-2009, 06:24 PM

At first I thought it was a joke cuz the first pics were of a primed dent bucket. But wow that is impressive metal work. Lots of years in a shop I bet.

If I could do that I would be making a 32 Ford pick-up by hand.

Thats Amazing work!
http://www.metalmeet.com has some great info for those like me looking to increase their metal working knowledge.
Also http://www.lazzemetalshaping.com has some great metal working tools and classes where you actually get to build car panels and bodies like in the link.
I haven't taken the class my self but i've met the guy who puts on the classes and he does some amazing work.

Impressive, very impressive. The force is strong with that one...

Awsome. Everyone has an artistic side. Tools, adaptation, commitment & repetition are all key. Well so is money, but I suppose thats a tool too. Thanks for the link. I'm definatley going to keep an eye on this one.

rod86 · 03-11-2009, 07:58 AM

bigblock73 · 03-11-2009, 08:55 AM

I am amazed daily at the talent most of the HAMB'ers have...many of them are true craftsmen. Too bad many of them are a-holes too.

This 22 year old seems to be the exception...and MAN, does he have talent!

rambler · 03-11-2009, 09:16 AM

great looking build,, thanks for sharing

**N2TRUX** · 03-11-2009, 10:32 AM

Man I admire guys that can look at flat piece of sheetmetal and "see" what it looks like finished. That fact that the guys is so young is even more amazing.
