Getting all the welding done on the custom Buick bumper on the 49 Chevy Fleetline. Even got to use the cut and butt method to install section in the bumper where the original bumper guards use to mount. Building bumper brackets to mount the bumper as well.

People watching this who have never done this type of fabbing will have no idea how much time is required to create something like this. I'm hoping there are folk out there to replace us, but sadly in 20 years i don't think there will be anyone left to replicate this type of ability to fabricate. Keep it up Tony!

I honestly can say, after watching and doing these techniques, learning really, from him, adds at least some skills out there

Thank you for showing us your difficulties (they're not mistakes) because it helps many of us accept when things don't work and we have to cut it out and start again. Your humility is both admirable and inspiring!

@alanspangler5621 14 дней назад

I stumbled upon this channel a few years ago. I could easily watch a two hour long fitzee video. It's satisfying watching each part and panel come together one piece at a time.

@Jim-he4km 15 дней назад

I really love hearing the real shop noises with a little (very little) RU-vid music in the background. I miss being in the shop, hearing the reality of shop life is why I'll always like your channel best. Thanks, Tony, for keeping it real.😊

The bumper belongs in an art museum, very nice work.

@brilog69 15 дней назад

I agree! Chrome it up!!

@Chevypowered5766 5 дней назад

Hey Tony, I just wanted to say I really like the way you take the time to explain what you are going to do and then show the process. I know you put a lot of time and effort into getting each part to fit right the way you want and it shows in your final product. Great video and tips to help how to do a great job, keep up the great videos and work on the projects. Later

@patrickharrand 11 дней назад

You make it look easy Tony. Your years of experience really shows. Thanks again for sharing your skills with us. The TIPS are always good.👍👍❤

Extremely satisfying to watch. Thanks for sharing the trials and the triumphs; especially with the Princess Auto & Mastercraft equipment. Again all with very basic tools. Very Canadian.

I always look forward to your next video, it’s my highlight of each week. It might be me but You sounded a little stressed out. Be kind to yourself mate, you have a solid and growing fan base and we love you for your gifts of knowledge ❤

@geoffreymills9932 15 дней назад

Definitely a work of art, what a great looking design on the front of that car, the owner truly didn't know what a piece of junk he had until you started fixing it, beautiful work Tony

Someone saw the title of this video and asked me if it was about the Brazilian Butt lift...I said " NOOooo Not Fitzee! I started the video and whew! what a relief! By cut and butt you meant a steel bumper !

@davegallucci9327 15 дней назад

@jorgefernandez-mv8hu 14 дней назад

That bumper looks real smart on the car. I liked the way you worked it a bit at a time. The brackets are nice and simple but effective. The bumper looks like it belongs there. Great tips.

@j1m3by 15 дней назад

Just for fun, I decided to look on a map to see in general where you are. LOL Holy crap, dude! I guess you don't have to worry much about super fans flocking to your shop! You do great work... fun to watch.

@deanjones5326 15 дней назад

Thanks for your true calling, passing on your techniques, talents and the knowledge of tools and your acceptance of the new materials and techniques so all of us can, if not perform, then at least be able to understand the process. Huzzah! Huzzah!

@Dagrond 13 дней назад

Lol - was really getting into that musical jam at 20:00 watching you work. Sad it eventually ended (the work and the music) but appreciated the excellent editing where they melded like a good weld into the ending.

@mariomuz8 10 дней назад

ur still the best luv ur teaching

@BrucePierson 15 дней назад

Back in the old days, chrome was done properly. First they copper plated the item, then nickel plated it, then chrome plated it. That's why really old chrome-work is usually in a lot better condition that more recent stuff, which is often just chrome plated over steel , so it doesn't last like the old stuff did.

@georgebettiol8338 9 дней назад

When referring to 'decorative chrome plating' - eg. bumpers - you cannot chrome plate the steel without the part being nickel plated. However, I agree that some of the current chromed metal items are subpar - usually because they skimp on the nickel plating - i.e. by applying one layer of nickel as opposed to the traditional two layers. Needless to say, a copper layer is normally applied before the nickel to provide for a superior finish - i.e. 'fills' all the imperfections.

@Spiritof_76 15 дней назад

Sometimes the most important tool in a shop is a huge, flat metal table! I worked in a custom and restoration body shop for a while that had no tables. After being there a short time, I told the owner that we needed some tables to work on. As soon as he bought one, the body man/painter who had been there for years put all of his work on it. I didn't stay there very long.

@renegade2556 15 дней назад

You Are An Inspiration! I'm Back in My Shop.Bought one of those heaters! I am a decent Fabricator myself, Getting stuff Done Right. Sheetmetal was always a mystery. Thank you for the tips and tricks! I have The Triumph Motorcycle Oil Tank I tried to mount upside down like a speed twin that warped and slagged and looks like something that came out of a volcano with my 80's Harbor Freight Mig Welder. I have a grinder! never Toss the Idea! I got a Grinder!

@JustinPaul1st 15 дней назад

Like no. 819...come on guys for the amount of views we need to give Fitzee the recognition he deserves...make every view a like to boost the channel...He deserves it

@avid6186 15 дней назад

The likes always amaze me, or lack of to be more precise. There are a lot of people who must view videos and not bother hitting the like button. Seems like it's the least we can do considering what Fitzee has just given us 😢

Lots of work getting that bumper pretty close to perfect so that it can be re-chromed. The shop inspector was happy with the way it turned out.

@johnfry9010 13 дней назад

It's a dirty shame it costs so much for plating because that would look awesome with a fresh Chrome job , really nice job !

@garyfraser8584 15 дней назад

I tend to fill holes with a copper backing plate and no filler material other than the mig wire. Either way can out nice.

@WillemFick 14 дней назад

If you had to charge fair money for the work you do, I am sure you wouldn't have had any clients that could afford your work! Absolutely amazing what you achieve - just a pity you make it look so deceptively easy!

@robbigemon1868 15 дней назад

Fantastic job tony that chevy looking better with every video

@Spiritof_76 15 дней назад

If I came into a ton of money, I'd try to purchase this car from the owner. Having all the brightwork chromed and picking out a beautiful candy paint color would be a lot of fun, maybe have a few thin scallops painted on as well, or some subtle seaweed style ghost flames. Maybe some Cadillac sombrero styled wheel covers. By the way, fantastic job on the video editing, Fitz!

@johncurtis6696 15 дней назад

Thanks for another one 😄

@mikecurrie1795 15 дней назад

While watching you using the grinder left handed it seemed to me that it is a much safer side to be on. I tried switching to my left hand today and I wasn’t getting a face full of sparks and the front of my coveralls wasn’t full of hot metal dust. I’m going to be a left handed cutter and butter from now on. The tips were good.👍

@johnmolnar2957 15 дней назад

@jacquespoirier9071 15 дней назад

very nice work For sure the quality of the plating is very good with a copper and a nickel underneath coats and for such an old and weathered part, the chrome is in a very good shape, no peeling and no pitting, I can't say the same thing of the chromes of the late syxties up produced cars excellent video.

Hey Fitzee again, just a note I'm excited to see what and how are you going to design the mustache bar down to the bumper, love learning from other people's designs and how they come about them

@charliebrown6328 15 дней назад

just noticed you have a push rod air nozzle, I made one about 2 decades ago, still have. Pretty handy to have.

@alibro7512 14 дней назад

As always another great video from Tony. I love what you've done with this car and the bumper is a piece of art. Only thing I'm wondering is would body coloured pieces to fill between the bumper ends and the wing (fender) below the headlight look better than the gap? Just a thought. Thanks again Tony for entertaining us

@fitzeesfabrications 14 дней назад
