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.

Pretty gruesome scenes. Makes you thankful for seat belts, safety glass and airbags.

Some of those are pretty gruesome scenes

It's also interesting to see what passed for an "ambulance" in much of America back in the 1950's thru mid 1960's......usually just a station wagon or sedan delivery with a siren, gumball on the roof, and a stretcher, first aid kit, and oxygen tank in the back

We've come a long way.

Love all the before-and-after pictures.....that shop was obviously - and rightfully - proud of their work. Thanks for posting, Shaun!

So true but also with a long way to go. Look what they use over in England. They can actually perform triage and surgery on the street at the scene of an accident if warranted. Pretty cool stuff and saves a lot of lives that otherwise would not have lived to get to the hospital.
