That is incredible. That guy is a true master. I'm happy he is relatively young and has many years left to repair our cars.

I really wish the person who filmed this would have set the focus point on the fender rather than the floor. So much of the video looked like this:

I'm amazed at the work but I'm terrified by the lack of safety gear. I don't use gloves when grinding but I to wear safety glasses. And holding the stainless in his hand while cutting it...I was cringing. I guess when you're that good incidents are rare.

I've had a piece of metal in my eye before. Having it removed actually hurt less but it was still painful and the 24 hour eye patch was uncomfortable. The doc used the heel of his hand to press the gauge against my eyelid and then taped that down. Constant pressure on a damaged cornea for over a day.

Sorry for the fuzziness guys. I had difficulty keeping the camera in focus and removed as many fuzzy segments as possible.

That's a cool tool to spot hammer the metal. Lots of work but I may try it on some scrap.

:jawdrop: wow, just- wow. That sad part of this amazing craftsmanship/artistry, is that if he does it right (and he does) you can't even tell! But, sheesh, that guy is great!

X2... what I was thinking the whole time. I know hes very talented, but he is going to hurt himself. Very easy to slice your hand open how he was grinding...

The only time he had a problem was grinding off some exhaust manifold bolts!

Josh, could you PM me what Chris's dent removal service cost you? I've got a hood dent that needs to come out at some point.

Houston should hire him to fix all of the antenna hole fenders that they have lying around.

Yeah! Maybe they could pay him in designer luggage!

Dave,

Have you talked with Toby and John. They removed a terible dent and gouge from my hood and it's barely noticeable now (only because I know where to look). It was a very resonable price as well.
