@@ErikRotterdamNL You need to injest lead for it to be dangerous. This is basically the same as soldering, you dont see people wearing masks when soldering, just a fume extractor because the flux fumes can be harmful, they aren't using flux here and its in a large open space.
This is why I spend time with the older generation they always can teach you and pass down a skill set you couldn’t otherwise learn on your own . Always respect your elders my elders always taught me for obvious reasons . Great content ..!
@@Ratarossa i have been watching your channel for a while now, one of my favorites was this episode seeing old school skills and workmanship learned over years being used still today........it gives me such a rush watching that...... keep it up
There will still be some filler after the lead. There will be an etch/epoxy/anti rust primer type layer, but you still need some fine sanding layer AKA a very light skim of filler to smooth out before paint.
I was taught how to do lead work by an old Chrysler body guy, from back in the '50s. It is a skill that has all but died out in the days of body panels held on with epoxies. I don't get enough practice with it, but I am glad that I was taught this.
Kind of literally died out because years of breathing lead fumes has killed many a body guy. Lead is the proper way to do these repairs but proper safety equipment will keep you alive to do it. Lead went out of fashion because of the danger.
I was gonna say, this should be equally applicable regardless of how a panel is attached to an adjacent panel so long as it's steel. Epoxy is probably just considered a less problematic material to work with from an HSE (Health/Safety/Environmental) standpoint...
What an absolute privilege to see this level of craft being applied to your car. Exactly what she deserves. Like other have said we really need to keep these skills. Thanks for sharing.
It's just so impressive to see real professionals at work. At first with the addition of the lead you're thinking about what on earth they are doing... But there's a method to their madness and the result, is a work of art! Satisfaction guaranteed!
This resto just keeps getting better an better . getting to see lead work an hammer outs by a master along with a pair of balls getting treated by well another skilled professional ...youtube gold.
It is so fascinating to watch an expert at work, especially when it is obvious that they thoroughly enjoy their trade. Thank you for sharing this experience!
This is amazing. Absolutely perfect. I love to see the old tradesmen doing this with care, the right way. I hope our younger generation understands the value of these skills and some of them learn these ways and continue them.
@@Boric78 I like how calm and casual he is about it too. Like he's not just melting metal on the roof of a potentially half million dollar car. I would much rather spend my money enjoying this process than just buying one from a showroom.
See this is why experience is precious!!! People like this guy are masters, who must be treated with the upmost respect. Many businesses make huge mistakes by not treating experience with the level of respect it deserves - handing down this knowledge is so important! Just incredible watching a master at work!!!!
That is the only correct way to fix body, lead it! That is art! Working on a project like that is so awesome!! Thank you for giving us an opportunity to follow this and be a part of this
Best “Manscaped” commercial ever 😂. I loved watching the old school workmanship on the body. That’s the tribal knowledge that needs to be passed down before it’s lost. Quality work!!!
Talking of Ferrari welding, remember what Gordon Murray said when asked if McLaren were to build a car to rival F40: "No, I don't think we have anyone at McLaren who can weld that badly". Bear that in mind and don't have any guilts, as you cannot do any worse whatever you do to BB.
I was taught lead loading in college by an old school panel beater, he said that although he has taught me it I will never use it in the work environment as it isn’t fast enough, he was right. Great to see it again. 👍
I was this years old when your channel finally had a sponsorship ad that wasn't boring as F@$K and didn't fast forward thru. Thank you for being creative.
@@Ratarossa you’re welcome. I was just at a small show with Fer Parts here in Sacramento last weekend. Your new 360 project was a hot topic. Looking forward to that.
Brilliant skills Scot from those two a dieing art. The only other time I have seen lead work done before was from some old school plumbers. One of my friends Is the only one I know who can do it and it is fantastic to see it being done and not a bit of bondo or filler in sight thank you for showing us
Body leading !!! Absolutely a great vid on a vanishing art. Car manufacturers actually used body leading in mass-produced vehicles in North America for sure. I remember seeing a series of ads for people building Buicks in the mid-late 1970's. One of the ads featured an older guy with an oxy-acetylene torch, a stainless steel brush about 2 inches wide and a bar of lead filling in the roof shell-to-rear fender join on the C pillar of a B body Buick sedan. He did it in the time it took to walk along with the body as it went down the assembly line. I bet it took him no more than 30 seconds at most to do a beautiful job that would have taken, maybe, 10 seconds to smooth out with a sander further along the line by someone else. I don't believe they still do THAT kind of craftmanship any more.
Just reading through the comments, most are positive, but of course the haters can be vicious. This is one of the best car rebuild series on YT right now. 🖕🏻to all the trolls.
Love the Manscape add...lol Great so see the lead-Work done, I've always wanted to see this Thanks 🙂 I will watch this video at least twice ...... Always look forward to your uploads Scott...Nice

Hi
Loved the advertisement 😂😂😂😂😂
There’s no way he’s used them down there. He’d be itching for ages😂
Just hope we never lose the skills of these old school guys, irreplaceable.
The young guy will carry on.
Well if they keep working with lead without any protection like that....none of them both will carry one for long........
Amazing job !
pick up a hammer, learn how we all do

That is the best Manscape add I have seen on all RUclips rhanks for the laugh
This might be the best Manscaped ad I’ve ever seen.
I was thinking the same thing!! LOL
I agree, it was pure genius
Yea, I don't mind product placement if I get entertained.

lovely work. Glad to see there's still people that avoid body filler :v
They filled the roof with polyester glaze

gorgeous old school work...great to see the dying art survives courtesy of Ratarossa
Not wearing any filtration is probably contributing to it being a dying art...
@@notj5712 I was going to say...!
I am astonished by the flawless results. This man is a magician. Absolutely no cheap body filler, just pure metal like God intended. Brilliant.

Great metal work. You don't see many old school guys that have leading skills. Love the hammer and dolly work.
That is real craftsmanship and the Ferrari will be priceless 👌
I love watching genuine craftsman work. Those guys are amazing.
That’s art at its finest! Could watch that all day long! Those skills are priceless! Awesome content..
Very impressive how in depth you are going with the restoration. Enjoyed watching that.

So satisfying seeing an artisan panel beater perform their master craft to perfection. Enjoying following the BBI restoration. ❤️🇦🇺
Wonderful craftsmanship
Inspiring. Truly professional.
Proper craftsman, joy to watch.

Bill highly skilled, was great to see him in action 👍👍
These skills just can’t be taught, they are perfected over many years, love seeing this type of thing, this car is gonna be 🔥
I really loved this one, watching skilled craftsmen at work is amazing, thank you for choosing to do it this way.
Great video and possibly the funniest Manscaped ad I've seen.
Can't wait to see it when it's all done. It's going to look amazing!
The car or his man garden?
Probs my fav video so far of this build. Watching the pure love of the craft of these two. :)

You must feel lucky finding a guy who can still do the job old school....very nice !!
First time on this channel, wonderful to watch an artiste at work. Thank you.
Amazing! Exactly what this car deserves, restored just like they would have originally finished it back in the day! Kudos for this :)
What a pure joy, to watch real old world craftsmen apply their trade.
That was fascinating. I love watching these old school fabricators and engineers work.
WOW - that was so therapeutic to watch the leading master at work :) Awesome.
Just as relaxing as watching The Hoof GP....
Old school beats new school any day!
Especially the old school of “hard knocks”!
Bravo!
