Two thoughts occur to me when I see those pictures -
1) Wow, I'm pretty good at body/metal work ! Anything I"m doing is 25* better than that, and it looked good under paint !
2) Wow, bondo is amazing ! Whatever flaws I have in my metal work will be easily remedied !
Ha ha.
Its true though, I haven't spent years doing bodywork or been around it much, but I enjoy fabrication and metal work, and sometimes get down on my work after perusing photos from the pros like Roadster Shop, and then once in a while I'll see the kind of underneath work done by all sorts of collision shops and so called restorers, and how much junk they actually cover up, I realize that what I"m doing is actually pretty decent and will be just fine under paint, even if a far cry from the standards of the professional craftsmen.
