Yup, true body men are few and far between here in the states. Labor costs are the killers of the body men. Insurance companies won't pay for the additional hours it takes.
I know a few places in Mexico where they still do this level of work. I've seen some pretty amazing stuff which was done in Cuba. Some Eastern Europeans still do this type of metal work. I had to cringe watching a couple of his other videos. Personal safety doesn't appear to be a high priority for him. I hope OSHA never visits his shop.

Near as I can tell he is in Lithuania.
Also look at some of the measuring tools he made. He is fixing cars with a single pull frame machine that is sub $ 5,000 on the USA used market. |

An interesting subject. I knew of a shop in Fort Worth that did work like this. Always repaired with metal.
But that was fifty years ago. I didn't know anyone still did this. Anywhere. |

Part of the reason these skills have gone away in the US is cheaper replacement parts. It just isn't cost effective to straighten a $ 200 fender.
Using a Mercedes 2014 E350 as an example, RA shows an aftermarket CAPA certified fender for $ 160 Honda 2014 Accord sedan is $ 45 |
