Default Incredible Thai restoration!

So, you think you are skilled with sheet metal? Look at what this guy in Bangkok is doing with a 67 Doka

Believe me, you are that good! I have seen posts about your project in several forums both in USA and here in Europe, and everyone is amazed over your metal skills. Nobody here knows even how to make panels themselves, they just buy new panels and weld them in place. The fact that you make the new panels yourself is fantastic!
