comp56 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 thought I'd share a few pictures of my buddy's old school metal restoration shop, he rebuilds vintage cars from the ground up with the old school ways, probably one of the best on the planet, I don't know why he doesn't have one of his own TV shows on the history channel............here is just one of many projectsbefore: after: there so many pictures check out his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Joe-Phillips-Restoration-431538346900124/?fref=nf 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I love clean metal. It looks like he even does custom chassis for the old fords. Does he still gas weld the seams and use lead as body filler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 The first few episodes of the show about Boyd, there was an old school metal worker, that used lead. It was really neat to see the process, wished they would of showed more of that. The whole lead melting, and shaping process truly amazes me.

If you watch Bitchin Rides occasionally they'll do it, some fantastic metal workers at Kindig It. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
