Hand built Hood hinges

Hotrodder writes – “The members on our hotrodding forum have been very impressed by the metalshaping skills of Pakistani “denters”. Complex automotive body panels and pieces are shaped by hand, or with primitive tools. The pics of welding in open-toed sandals with no protection are very cool. With the assistance of a Pakistani doctor/businessman, these metalshapers are selling inexpensive hand-formed body parts to enthusiasts in Western automotive forums. Initially focusing on 4×4 body panels, they are now gearing up to form complete steel hot rod bodies at half the current market price. More info here and here. Very interesting, from both a cross-cultural and lowbuck-maker perspective.” – Link.
