    You're erasing history! It took decades for those cottage cheese thighs to show their age... and now you're taking her back to her finer teenage years like a drill Sargent at a fat girl camp!

    Keep it up!

    It looks choppy because you haven’t touched it. Yet.

    Amazing work, as usual, Flop! I always learn something from you even if I will never reach your skill level. Keep it going!

    Is this really a trick done with mirrors? Looks like magic to me.
    This is actually some of the best metalwork I've ever seen. Fun to watch!

    Thanks for posting here. The work is fantastic, but the part about "hmm, not good enough" is what raises the bar for the rest of us. 99% would just slap some bondo on the catwalk and send it down the road...

    Until you mentioned it, all I noticed were coffee cups and beer cans. Lol. Hot rod builders fuel.
