When I'm fabricating a body panel or something now, I hear your voice in my head explaining what I'm doing. Sometimes I even talk out loud using your voice. You have given me the confidence I needed to become much better at this type of work. Thanks Fitzee!
My favorite fabricating channel on TH-cam Tony. Highly appreciate your knowledge an skill. Since watching your channel, I've picked up so many tips an ideas an shortcuts on ways of fabricating. Keep up the awesome content!!!
I saw that the video was an hour and ten minutes long and passed over it. Then I decided to just hit play and I'd just skip through the "boring" parts. Before I knew it the video was over and I'm all but speechless. Fantastic craftsmanship, Sir., just amazing.
We don’t need no expensive stinkin’ tools! Let me show you the 5 things you will need. Then Fritzee builds you a whole car, lol gotta love it! You’re a true craftsman with great vision, nice work.
That hood is like Raisin Bran. It has 2 scoops. Lol Fitzy does such an amazing job. Who would have figured that there was so much involved in hood scoops.
That's always the key when you are stomped about something is to take a break and sleep on it, its amazing how things come together and then you will know what route to take or what is the best decision to make from there. If you don't you will screw things up! That's one of the tricks of the trade with metal work or with many trades for that matter, when you run into a situation where you are frustrated and don't know what way to go. just don't go any further until you have that time to sleep on it, and sometimes, things get revealed to you even in a dream its crazy how that works. I've experienced many times as a fabricator myself. Basically what your sharing is wisdom, my friend, pure unadulterated wisdom.
Just another day in the Fitzee Fab corner. Love the way you explain, execute, explain, and VIOLA, Done! One of the best bits I have now adopted is what I call "The Heat Wait". Been reworking a 98' Chev Tracker and the metal is SOOOO thin. I had to put in a comfy chair in my shop so I would sit down and wait for the heat to dissipate. That and a mini fridge with wobbly pops and my shop time has incresed dramatically..... I had to chuckle when I saw you standing there waiting for the scoops to cool with your ear muffs on, then walk over and weld without a shield. I hate the sound of sizzling bacon too....its a good thing welding doesn't smell like bacon too, cause I would be so hungry and never get anything done. Nicely done Obiwan!
Tony, that video was absolutely amazing! It was a true Master Class that combined 30+ years of metal working magic! I've watched all of your other videos and I learned so many new things in that one hour timeframe! I can't believe how good those scoops look on that hood! YOU. DID. AN. AMAZING. JOB!!!!! ❤️ Thanks for making my car beautiful!
ive been watching your channel for awhile now i learn something each time luv how you show walking away in "taking your time" and using basic tools! was once told, "one has never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over"! You are truly "The Metal Whisper"!!!! keep up the awesome work
I love these kind of projects. One of the coolest project I saw was Vista Cruiser top attached to a 67 El Camino and it looked like a factory built car.
WOW! 30 hours of actual work and 30 hours of thinking about best way to do it first…Lol. also great job on filming, editing and explaining the process, well done!!!
I enjoy all of your videos. But for some reason I enjoyed this the most. I do some metal repair at my shop, and thanks to you I have gotten better over the last year. Thank you for the videos. FOREVER SUBSCRIBER.
Straightforward and simple!!!!😂😂😂😂😂… Yeah okay!!! Maybe to a master such as yourself but anyone else would be in the weeds 5 minutes after the first cut…. You do make it look so easy…. Excellent work!!
this guy can do marvels with about nothing, In my carrer, I saw many sheet metal workers that can't do as well with a fully equipped shop. He's doing miracles.
Tony, *PROPER* *PRIOR* *PLANNING* was the key here..... think about it and walk away..... think about it some more! time is on your side when it comes to things like this, because its not easy to do and make it come out the way it did. your work is phenomenal and an inspiration, even to an old dog like me!
MASTER METAL MAN! You would fabricate circles around the metal shop teacher. Really enjoy your videos, already looking forward to the next 1. Gotta get 1 of your shirts!
You’re preaching the truth about hoods. Learned that lesson the hard way many many years ago. Went to cut a hole in a hood for a tunnel ram… And promptly watched the hood skin turn into a pretzel. Turns out it had been bumped in the front a long time ago and I didn’t know it… Once I cut that big flat piece of sheet metal open, it relieved everything and completely destroyed the hood skin. Great episode as always. Rock on
You’re cracking me up dude… Standing back looking at things waiting for them to cool down. Man can I relate to that. Between fabricating and painting… I always have to find something to do to keep me from going out of my mind and rushing things.
Your outro cracked me up. Boy can I relate to that… How many times do I have to redo the intro to my show because I can’t find my groove. I had a good belly laugh. Thank you
Watching your fabrication for these scoops and how you take time on welding them up shows what taking your time will produce looking forward for the next video thumbs up 👍
Watching the montoge of you waiting for the welds to cool and looking out the window was pure entertainment. You are a master Tony! I have learned so much from you.
You should be pleased. We’ll done Fitzee! You made that look easy! Your deductive reasoning and common sense is brilliant. Customer is gonna be very happy.👍
Well Mr.Fitzee(aka:Tony), While I'm sit'n here in North Carolina watch'n you fabricate these ABSOLUTELY AWESOME 442 OLD'S hood scoops! It takes me back to a video that you made several years ago, and I believe it was a new style cowl (sunoco) for a 🦊 body Mustang. Now, I thought that the cowl hood look'd perfect to me! Also, I'd bet that it's on one of a very few short lists of "STEEL SUNOCO STYLE HOODS" that's actually very pleasurable to look at without think'n that it was some kind of afterthought! It's mesmerizing to watch you perform any type of fabrication, especially if you're cut'n & buff'n in your specialty body panels!!! Thanks very much young man & God Bless You, your family and your business, Joe C.💪🏼🏎️🏁🇺🇲💪🏼🏎️🏁🇺🇲💪🏼🏎️🏁🇺🇲
Nothing but perfection. I love your attention to detail. You are a true artist. I also love how you showed the scenes how you were killing time letting it cool down. I had to laugh, when I saw you looking out your garage door. Were you looking at the snow thinking when is Spring coming?
I really love watching your work. Been taught and repairing same ways as you have gowing up, but wished the old-timers would have taught me more of "the little things" that would have helped alot. Thanks for taking your time for showing these things, you can't know what you don't know but no matter how old you learn something every day.
Just incredible skills been doing metal work for long time but you really have me hooked on, there always so much to learn when I watch you working on your project thank you for taking the time to also explain you process of thought 👊👊
Oh man, Fitzee what an incredible job!! I love the choices you made to incorporate the original hood design while adding the 442 style hood scoops. This is going to be an amazing car when she's all done. As always you are patient and deliberate in your work, thanks for teaching us these old school methods of sheet metal fabricating. I hope the snow is melting out your way in NL, it's still 4' high and frozen solid in MB. Cheers, Rob.
Used to live at the corner of Indian Meal Line and Torbay Road, #2. Blue house red doors. Pretty sure i`ve seen you driving around Torbay a few times. Out west now, and your videos have got me started on my 1958 Pontiac. Keep up the cutting and butting, it`s going a long way on that `58.
Made a bonnet scoop 2 years ago, wish I knew what you taught me today back then... You da best. Thank you Tony. Will amend scoop with new found knowledge and correct crown in bonnet
Wow, you did an amazing job on these scoops and there were many good tips! One that stands out in my mind is to not go around the corner when welding; instead treat each side as it's own heat zone and let it cool completely before welding the adjacent side - a great tip! Thank you Fitzee!
About 45 minutes in you illustrate perfectly why nothing on the car is perfectly flat when you turn one of the scoops over. It's so solid, no flexing as you take this long structure of flimsy sheet metal and flip it over. All those different crowns, curves, and angles reinforce each other and make it much more solid than you'd expect from something made of steel thin enough it would be very floppy as a flat sheet.
A lot of thought and measuring went into this video, you did a great job explaining what you did in this video. Thank you Tony, you are a great teacher.

Our favorite, cause its the best!!! No fluff, no muff, just cut n butt.
I've never seen anyone with as much metal fab knowledge as he has.
I came here to say exactly this!
@Bruce Lee Man, what a suck up....
I'm just kidding, ha ha,
He is an awesome guy. 👌
I saw that the video was an hour and ten minutes long and passed over it. Then I decided to just hit play and I'd just skip through the "boring" parts. Before I knew it the video was over and I'm all but speechless. Fantastic craftsmanship, Sir., just amazing.
One of your best demonstations ...A true craftsman and instructor...Thank you
We don’t need no expensive stinkin’ tools! Let me show you the 5 things you will need. Then Fritzee builds you a whole car, lol gotta love it! You’re a true craftsman with great vision, nice work.
I can watch your work over and over again.
It's great how you always show how it's possible to make things that look so difficult, using simple tools. Thanks for showing us.
Fitzee somehow I feel smarter after watching your videos.
I could honestly watch all 30 hours of this build. Thanks for sharing your talent and wisdom with the rest of us!
You truly are a metal wizard. Nevermind Gandalf the grey, we have Fitzee the grey
Another Fitzee’s work of art in progress. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Glued to this. Fantastic workmanship. But goes to show that patience and simple equipment can get fantastic results
Thanks for another great training session. I especially enjoyed the bloopers at the very end.
That hood is like Raisin Bran. It has 2 scoops. Lol

LOL Love the outtakes at the end! Ppl do not understand what it takes.... This is not an easy thing to do man. WELL DONE!
Hahahaha I love how you even showed yourself waiting for the metal to cool down. Made me laugh. Thanks Fitzee
There's nothing to do but watch and admire people like you and the work you do.
Like the outtakes! Those scoops look like they came stamped in place.

@Seriously Refinishing fab me one like this 442 for my 71 cutlass and I’ll pay
@@fitzeesfabrications we need some more vids
Hey Ben, you should make a video of the bodywork and paint so we can see the finished product. Even if it's just in primer.
ive been watching your channel for awhile now i learn something each time luv how you show walking away in "taking your time" and using basic tools! was once told, "one has never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over"! You are truly "The Metal Whisper"!!!! keep up the awesome work
Started a drinking game, every time you said crown. Lol your awesome Tony!!
Me: A hood scoop video? 🤪
After watching: Give Fitzee a trophy! 🏆
Tips and Tricks: University level
That’s amazing work! The shot of you looking out the window cracked me up
As some one like my self who welds cars iv leant a lot from watching your videos, keep up the good work, thanks from mol vws Ltd

Nicely done Tony!
Patience proves worth it.
This is certainly going to raise some Oldsmobile historian eyebrows!
You're like MacGyver and Bob Ross. Looks slick.
Straightforward and simple!!!!😂😂😂😂😂… Yeah okay!!! Maybe to a master such as yourself but anyone else would be in the weeds 5 minutes after the first cut…. You do make it look so easy…. Excellent work!!
Hey, start easy, cut out some rust and weld in some metal......it actually is doable with a great teacher. ........and basic tools!! Enjoy.
Fitzee's Magical Metal Show! Amazing work Tony...
This is the most complicated panel work you have shown yet, Tony. Wow so many sheet metal tips, especially tips to avoid warpage. Well done sir !
Another phenomenal video!!👌👌👌
Looking forward to the next one!👍
Its like watching a magician and wandering how on earth he pulled this trick right before our eyes....
this guy can do marvels with about nothing,
In my carrer, I saw many sheet metal workers that can't do as well with a fully equipped shop.
He's doing miracles.
Very impressive how you break down a complex shape into parts that are much more simple. The hood looks fantastic.
you do a terrific job in explaining what's going on, thank you
Lot of work there Fitzee, thanks fortaking me along.
Love the 442!
You are a Mans man in every way. I couldn't imagine that you could do something like this, lol, nevermind "do it".. I truly envy ya fitz!!
Tony,
*PROPER*
*PRIOR*
*PLANNING*
was the key here.....
think about it and walk away..... think about it some more!
time is on your side when it comes to things like this,
because its not easy to do and make it come out the way it did.
your work is phenomenal and an inspiration, even to an old dog like me!
MASTER METAL MAN! You would fabricate circles around the metal shop teacher. Really enjoy your videos, already looking forward to the next 1.
Gotta get 1 of your shirts!
You’re preaching the truth about hoods. Learned that lesson the hard way many many years ago. Went to cut a hole in a hood for a tunnel ram… And promptly watched the hood skin turn into a pretzel.
Turns out it had been bumped in the front a long time ago and I didn’t know it… Once I cut that big flat piece of sheet metal open, it relieved everything and completely destroyed the hood skin.
Great episode as always. Rock on
You’re cracking me up dude… Standing back looking at things waiting for them to cool down. Man can I relate to that. Between fabricating and painting… I always have to find something to do to keep me from going out of my mind and rushing things.

That was an amazing piece of work. They look like they were made from the factory. Lots of great tips. 👍👍👍👍👍
Cant wait for the next exciting episode Fitzee. Brilliant!
Patience is a virtue! Sometimes you got to walk away and think about it. Fritzee is the best presenter.- Left handed!
Damn Tony, awesome display of your talent!!! Love the vid!!! Thanks
Watching your fabrication for these scoops and how you take time on welding them up shows what taking your time will produce looking forward for the next video thumbs up 👍
Very Nice Fitzee!! Love the use of simple tools to get the job done.
Well this is definitely going to get some attention on TH-cam!
442 is by far my favorite muscle car -- add the vista to it total win
You are a pure tradesman Fitz!
Dang man! That hood is going to be Beautiful! Metal Magic Man!
Looks good. Thx for taking us along. Hope some of the tips stick in my head!
Watching the montoge of you waiting for the welds to cool and looking out the window was pure entertainment. You are a master Tony! I have learned so much from you.
My thoughts exactly, being retired military we called it the hurry up and wait game. I have learned so much from Tony as I work on my 54 GMC project.
Searched many corners of the internet for a video of someone making a scoop this way and had no luck. Thanks for making this!
Oh how patient I’ve been waiting for you sir! Another great one!
Loved the waiting for the weld to cool shots 🤣🤣. Edit. You answered my question right after I posted it lol.
Great job on the scoops fitzy! Loved the bloopers at the end lol.
You should be pleased. We’ll done Fitzee! You made that look easy! Your deductive reasoning and common sense is brilliant. Customer is gonna be very happy.👍

Looks Great... You are also a Good Teacher. Thanks for Sharing and Keep Up the Great Work... Brother
I wanted to do this with my 70 cutlas. I just might. Excellent tutorial

Man if there's a better fabricator on TH-cam, I ain't found him yet. Awesome job
Fantastic job Fitzee !
Excellent! As always. Keep ‘‘em coming
Superb job , you have more patience than I have!

Hi Tony, it’s a piece of art. 👍
Excellent fabrication and I enjoy the explanation and tips.
Great video, you explain your though process & all the steps so well. You sir deserve your own crown, King of the scratch build! Rock on Brother.

Sweet Tony! Very nice work, Cheers, Doug
That's Wicked Mint!!!!!
Love how you guide us through each step and the pitfalls of each step.
Just awesome, your one hell of a fabricator.
The shots of u standing and waiting for the metal to cool are a great touch. Very effective and creative.
O man that looks so darn good! If I seen at a car show I would think way factory.
Damn brother,you did a hell of a good job!! You got a good eye when it comes to detail, really in joyed the video.
Fitzee thanks for this one. I learnd a lot.
Again thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Cheers. 🍻
I want a hood like this for my truck. Can't wait to see how it looks when your done.
Tony, you are an inspiration!
Everyone understand what "take your time" means? I think this is the first video that someone actually records themselves taking time, amazing.
A lot of thought and measuring went into this video, you did a great job explaining what you did in this video. Thank you Tony, you are a great teacher.
Lots of awesome idea’s !!! Great job looks amazing 👍
Excellent work as always! Going to look great!
