    Hi Karl ! I feel like I'm taking a college course in body work, with a great teacher.
    I am 73, and have done collision repair my whole life,
    and still love to play with it, so its nice to learn new
    stuff. Thanks, keep it up, I'll be watching.

    Wow. You do very good work. The planning process, adjustments, refinements and execution = great outcome that mirrors the original look. Great idea with the 10 gauge on the pillar side out, very smart. I appreciate your craftsmanship brother. Metal artist to say the least, with years to continue growing and refining and experimenting awaits you. Sky is the limit my friend. I would love to just help in a shop like yours, for free! Just to learn and soak up the processes. Very fun but taxing work, I know, but I am sure, based on your work, you truly enjoy what you do. Can't ask for more than that. Keep it up and keep that focus, cant wait to see more. Do another trifive!! I am in the market for a project for my 12 year old son and I to restore to a 60's era, hot rod myself, and seeing the work done to them, regardless of the rot, is so rewarding. Watching you gives me confidence and my boy and I will accomplish our goal. May take 6 years to do, as the goal is to complete it by his high school graduation, but time invested is part of the journey. Thank you for sharing the channel. Blood, sweat, tears and Gears, Rich.

    He does quality work but I always found it more rewarding to do something different. I built a 55 bel-air and could've converted it to a 2 door and drop in a V-8 but I decided to keep it a 4 door, widened the wheel wells, put in a turbo 292 I- 6 and 4 speed. I improved the brakes and suspension and put modern day aggressive tires on d window rims

    When making patterns a method that occasionally helps is to make a series of slices an inch apart or so made perpendicular to the wheel well arch which allows you to push and fold the pieces in the corner and get yourself in the ballpark very quickly.
    Well that's a save a sentence or two sentence.

    New sub. Ive only seen the two parts of this build but from what I’ve seen the channel is going to sky rocket. Good work man, looking forward to catching up on the rest of your projects.
