It is unbelievable that some people are so talented...and I complain about doing simple repairs and here is a guy making a classic car body from old discarded refrigerator bodies!

I believe it was his cars I saw at a show in Laughlin Nv. a couple years ago. They are truly amazing.

I went there 2 weeks ago and had a great time. The owner and his sons were very friendly and there is lots of cool stuff to see inside and outside. I will post photos soon. Put this on your bucket list.

Looks better than a Crosley or an American Bantam for sure. Some guys don't stop till they finish things. I wished I had that problem!
