some pretty insane metal work there... IMO it's a shame about the "artwork" in the floor though... :(

I do a bit of work with metal and this makes me want to quit and get another job. It's certainly OTT, but if I could bead roll things like this bloke, I'd take the piss with it too. It's the first channeling job I've seen that's been done with flair and a factory quality finish instead of a car just made as low as possible.

some people have alot of patience and time... can't help think the "art" work is OTT but very very clever and a good skills show off!

No, a channelled car is just a 2cv with the floors cut out and welded in higher, this bloke just built his own chassis, at a guess cause it was cheap and he could so he did :lol:

That was my first thought...



...however, on reflection it's more likely to be a combination of too much time on his hands plus access to a regular and unlimited supply of Lysergic acid diethylamide. ;)
