I've wanted to fabricate things and repair and build hot rods but was a alcoholic for a long time and choose drinking over my dreams and now almost a year sober. I'm glad to have your videos and many others channels to watch and learn to start doing what I love. Thanks.
There's been a decade of metal shop classes just on that one car, we can't thank you enough for your patience with teaching us all your tricks and tips on "hand tool" fabrication, another beautiful repair Tony, your piece mill technics have helped me out more than you could imagine, thanks again for all your hard work and willingness to share your experience, till next time I'll be waiting.
Fitzee I have been watching your videos for years and you always amaze me with your methods and your skill. I am in Australia and I know you have a big following here. I am retired and restoring VW Beetles your methods have enabled me to do what I love without having a million dollars worth of equipment. I appreciate every thing you have done for all of us.
Tony I wish you and RU-vid was around when I was a young fella, I'm 60 now ,got lots of fabricating tools , watching you makes me want to go and buy an old car and have at her , you make it look so easy.
There's years and years of experience and you can just tell by how he talks about the gap and lines a real professional this guy, I hope to get half as good to fix my rusty rambler
Again, Thank you for showing just how simple anyone can accomplish metal work if you just look at the task your trying to do. And with a basic tools. With you showing the way to do it. Your GREAT!
Great that the skills of old masters are recorded, otherwise we would lose a lot of craft knowledge because the young ones can't be bothered with doing real stuff.
I've been telling my wife about how good you are and how you teach people who no nothing about wielding ways to get to doing their own projects. So I showed her this video and she was amazed at how you took all those pieces and made that door jamb. Keep the videos coming I'm almost ready to start doing some patch work on my Caddy.
Tony, you've always say that you hope the tips are good, well my son this time! you nailed it out of the park!! Your officially the Master of Tricks and Tips in my Book and I got a feeling a whole lot of fellas will agree with me on this one. cheer's bud.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I've not done any of this yet but am about to start on my 1962 c10 and I know your teaching is going to help me so much. Thanks for teaching and sharing your skills. I agree with others, you blow us away with your skills. Keep em coming. Thanks Truck Driver Ray ✝️
Tony, Your gap adjustement method is GREAT ! I wish I had known that when I built my '68 Chevelle. I fell into all the novice traps back then. Great vid !
Tony it's work on panels like this that make you seem like a magician. How you worked the edges and then made the tricking door bottom section up was just genius. Simple, easy, perfection.
Your tips are just bloody fantastic. There has been stuff I’ve seen and thought right this is a parts car. I’ve stripped and scrapped the car. But that was years ago. But now after watching quite a few of your videos. I’m looking for an old wreck to attempt to copy precisely what you’re doing.
An absolute "MASTER" in the fabrication and welding in some of the most "impossible" areas to repair . Your "simple" approach to a repair encourages one to tackle the challenge straight on. A delight to watch you work "miracles" when no commercially produced repair pieces are available.
Your simplicity rocks. I have been doing this for 40 years and your technique is as good as I have seen. I have taught a few to do rust repair and the 'don't over think' approach is the best advise you can give anyone. I built my push rod blower when I was a younger lad and still use it, there is nothing better. Your channel is inspiring and enjoy every video. Thanks Stevo J
There’s only one guy that I would turn my project over to... Globally, Fitzee #1 globally in panel restoration, hell you should be teaching our throw away generations. H.M.S.
Another great teaching video. great explanations, one step at a time, making a complex panel. Need to get to the salvage yard to pink up a small piece of eye beam. Thanks for the education.
After you split that metal and began tapping the seam back you could see the gap opening into a uniform shape. Is it just me or is that just cool as hell... You are pretty good at making metal conform to your will. Making it go places it didn't want to go in the first place. You have a unique way of convincing it to do that...
I really appreciate the nice details in your work. Doing it in a simple fashion also. Which allows us to be able to understand and do this in our small garages at home with basic tools. Thank you!!!👍👍👍
Thank you Tony! Always satisfying watching you tackle tricky projects and providing informative ways to accomplish difficult tasks. Great info for novices!
Fantastic video, love your work Fitz, reworking old repairs and making them factory again. Never judging only problem solving. I think I’ll buy a hat you legend.
Another fantastic episode. That repair panel for the bottom of the B post was a brilliant example of your method of breaking the task down into small, manageable elements. Thank you so much for that and all the other great tips. BTW I like the new intro, especially the way the hammer blows fall in time to the music, a nice touch. Thank you Tony!
I know we all had to start somewhere, but My God, the "Hackery" that was done to this car... Thank God, that you are there, to Save this Poor Car... ❤❤❤
🌟Really enjoyed this episode. I've just finished fitting a new door to my '68 Ford Escort. I had to remove the wing to reshape it where it is close to the scuttle panel, and had to cut and reweld the door hinges as I had previously fitted the wing to match an old door. I can certainly appreciate your work. Fun times indeed. Kind regards 😊
Awesome stuff Fitzee! Thanks so much for showing us how you do this this type of repair! Fellow Canuk here in Alberta, I have a 66 Galaxie that needs the Fitzee touch. :) Want to make a trip out here to Alberta sometime? Seriously, watching how you do this I'm gonna try it myself. Cheers!
It always seems like some kind of voodoo magic. Then I watch the video and it comes together and logic returns to my mind. Thanks Tony, my confidence level is boosted yet again!
So very clever. I have never seen or done a repair like this. And panel alignment was impressed upon me more than 50 years ago. I only wish I was able to take my MIG welder back in time. Sure beats brass!
You can tell when someone is good at what they do when you watch them work and think "I could do that, it looks easy" so you try it, and find it isn't. Fitzee makes EVERYTHING in fabrication look simple.
Your work is awesome and we appreciate you sharing your knowledge. My hubby and I watched your gap adjustment and said, wow, I never thought of that. Thank you
Your videos have been a great help to understand how to fabricate complex parts with basic tools! And You do very good and simple explanation as well! Thank You! Best regards, from Estonia!
Looks amazing. I have some work to do on my windshield frame on my 66 wagon. Kinda similar to what you did . Always watch you videos to give my encouragement
Another quality video as always Tony your skills and knowledge experience shine through as always great channel I also love watching the flip side too where viewers can the the many different things that you and your family and friends do when your not in the workshop keep up the amazing work see you in the next one Fitzee ♥️
