I don't know how to get the vedio, but years ago there was a great one on gas 
welding aluminum. Myron Steavens had to be close to 90 when they shot the 
vedio of him welding. He built all the in house bodies for Harry Miller then 
went 
on to build his own Indy cars in the 1930's. Really cool part was him using 
the original body hammers he hand made out of Model T Ford rear axle sections. 
Cooler part was his statement that he made all the Miller exhaust headers out 
of sheet stock, not tubing! Bob in connecticut
