WOW, those pics are awesome, thanks for posting them up!
They remind me of my dad (born 1932) who did body work since he was 13 in the back alley of his house in Mt Oliver, Pittsburgh. He passed in 2000 from Emphysema/COPD/Lung Cancer, primarily from painting w/o a respirator, breathing in all that sanding dust and smoking. He was an amazing body man and painter who had "the touch" and made panels as straight as they could be. I remember being down in the garage in the late 60's and 70's and seeing him ply his trade as a skilled tradesman, even occasionally pulling out the lead and working with that when the situation called for it. He was a great guy and I really miss him. Thanks again for putting those up and taking me down memory lane.
