Watch This

The end results are remarkable considering what they started with, but the lack of safety gear makes me cringe. lots of paint grinding dust, body filler dust and fresh paint vapors are being inhaled. Considerable eye damage too.
 
Something I never thought of is using a regular oxygen acetylene tip as a cutting tip. I assume they just up the oxygen pressure and control it with the valve at the handle.

It looks like the skin of the tub was pitted with rust before the last time it was "restored". My tailgate is like that. It looks like my face from my decade of horrific acne.

“Skin Battles” as I call them are the worst. Meh. And age isn’t the factor either, the battle continues.
 
I hope they have blow back preventers on the torch. Turning the controls like that could be bad if it has a blow back.
Helped paint the roof of a motorhome standing on it outside once. Too tall for the paint booth. Did have protection on though.
I like the dirt bike going by while he was painting.
Interesting.
Not safe at all. Major health problems ahead.

I've watched a lot of these 3rd world repair jobs. No safety glasses, maybe hold up a tinted lens with one hand weld with the other, no shoes or boots just sandals while cutting, welding, grinding and jacking. No jack stands either, They repair everything, weld cranks and camshafts back together then true them on a lathe, still not wearing glasses. Rebuild a wrecked heavy duty truck on the side of the road. Straighten u-bolts, rebuild spring packs, beat a wheel straight, it's amazing. there is no word in their language for OSHA.
