I gotta learn this trade!
BTW, there was a thread on here (Phillipines?) but it was a Type 2 bus. I cannot find it anywhere but the craftsmanship was out of this world! Anyone remember it?
I thought it was in Thailand, the guy made forming tools out of pieces of tense? Themetalsurgeon.com has a great write up on a bus job
Wow. What a rotted out carcass to start with...
If I had the skills or the money to pay someone to hand form panels and essentially create a car, it would not end up resembling a Thing.
I don't have any Maestros of my own. Looks like they sure knew how to do metalwork.
Pretty impressive. Guys in the far east can do some amazing things the old-school way.
I know of guy in China who once built a 25-foot-long model of a US Navy guided-missile cruiser, Completely of hand-shaped steel with steel framing, with a working diesel-electric drivetrain. It came out looking 99.9% accurate, floated perfectly at the waterline, and could cruise around in rivers with a person sitting inside the superstructure and looking out the bridge windows, lol...
The best part is that he built this thing in a workshop in some little shanty village that looked like it was still stuck in the 1800s......

Glad to see they were focused on safety when they had that thing up in the air...sheesh :eyeroll:
I didn't realize you can get scorpions in that size! I may have to re-think my rallyX tire choice...
