One time a big one went ‘pop!’ And he looked up grinning and said ‘this is *really* nice metal’. Said modern cars with thin hardened faced steel were the worst.

He was one of a kind, now runs a paint shop in another state but wow was he good.
Years ago I had a PDR guy do some work on my old SC - he said the same thing, nice metal and also thicker than what is seen today. New cars have metal that's paper thin.
