Not really related to motorcycle (and I'm not into VWs) but the stuff this guy does is awesome and he seems really cool!

This guy hand-builds all his own VW Van body parts. And I do mean all of them. Simply amazing.

And I bitch about trying to fab side covers with all my (harbor freight) metal work tools.

wow... that sheet metal work with just a hammer and chisel is inspiring at the least... it's amazing to see what people can do with skill and determination.

and i quote "all we have here is hammer and skill"

i would love to buy that guy an english wheel and other metal fab things... he could do amazing things!

Yep, that's madd skillz.
If your not into V-Dubs, how did you find it?
I was into them big time from 1985 to 1992~93.
I had 3 RH and 1 LH drive beetles and Bay Window bus/camper.
Very good memories of driving bus to Bug Jam at Santa Pod (was engaged to an 18yr old model at the time ;D)

Foot models don't count....

This guy's metal work is pretty friggin' amazing!
I was WAY into aircooled VWs for years and years, it's an oddly similar affliction to keeping these old bikes running.....

People in Thailand should send their children to apprentice with that dude. That is just amazing stuff. It blows my mind.
