This video is amazing. I can't help but wonder, though, what took him more time: restoring the car or setting up all the insanely intricate shots.

There was a video posted here once I think that did his auto restoration jobs completely in stop-motion with no people (i.e. the tools were fixing the car on their own). I forget how much longer things took, but it was at least 4x I think.

I'm sure the guy didn't think of himself as an artist, but that is art right there.

No kidding! I do a bit of woodworking. The thought of stopping to film everything I’m doing just boggles my mind at how much additional time it takes! Though I guess if you’re able to monetize you can make it worth it…

Translating the comments, it's all filmed on his phone!

Is this guy a panel beater, a chemist or a cinematographer?

Great restoration, and interesting to see one of these resto channels that doesn’t go straight for the sandblaster. I wish we’d seen more creation of the replacement details (decals etc), but a gorgeous vid!

His video of an old Soviet Motorcycle is also a wonderful combination of restoration, chemistry and video production.

Wrong timestamp in the title sorry. The YouTube app seems to have a bug. It's only 25 minutes.

It's all shot on an iPhone (from the comments) so I assume he made a hole in the side just so he could take the shot!
