How to do body work the right way #car #cars #drift #drifting #motorsport #mechanic #offroad

He is not using sand paper he is using a file, making that metal razor thin

Looks good but now the panels are very thin.

My grandfather was a mechanic, welder, and body repair man in Cuba they didn’t have bondo or any special equipment either lol straight up beating the metal by hand them bel airs he used to have always looked beautiful. Miss u gramps

Older cars used thicker steel for the body panels

Unfortunately most shops can’t afford this kind of work. It’s time consuming

It’s a great method for weight reduction. And in most situations, it thins the metal out in areas until it’s no thicker than an aluminium coke can.

Panels are gonna oil can like hell

love the look of guide coat purple n pink it looks amazing

he will still throw glaze over that whole panel and the rest of the whole car. that's what they do with custom vehicles like this. they glaze the whole vehicle. you can see the glaze and bondo over the whole roof and front door.

It’s good work but also thins the metal. Sometimes, a lot. Drop of rain hits and causes a dent if it’s taken too far

Real metal finishing is insane, but I think the way he is doing isn't exactly right instead of leading he is just thinning out the panel which will eventually make is wavy and soda can run like. I could be wrong

You could pluck a dent into that quarter panel now.

Dents add character.

Hes not sanding hes filing! Badass, oldschool dying art.

Part of me wishes that was paint in the beginning

Your right its smooth But not straight. You can see the divots and waves in that 1/4

The paint will be thicker than the metal 😂😂

Bros taking the weight off like 60's NASCAR teams

He had to be a monster to be thinning out the body panels like that 🤣🤣🤣

At least he got a mention 👀
