    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

    @fonhollohan2908 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    That was a massive amount of work to make those scoops. No doubt attaching them to the hood is going to take about the same amount of time. But like you said, it's a matter of taking your time and not rushing it. I was reading one of the comments about an impatient boss who turned a panel into a banana when he thought the guy doing the job was taking too long doing it.

    While I do greatly enjoy the video, and your work is "over the top" as normal!! What a lot of people fail to understand about the Oldsmobile 442 is that the hoods on those cars are actually hand laid fiberglass, like that of a boat, or a 1960s Corvette!! If you take measurements off a stock "real" 442 hood, there are subtle differences between each and no two are exactly the same, because of the fiberglass process!! Making a 442 style hood out of steel is a very cool idea and certainly probably much stronger than the original hoods as well!! Because the original hoods were prone to cracking, because of voids in the fiberglass and structural weak spots as well (usually around the twist lock hood pins)!!

Also another car that uses this same hood, is the Rally 350 which only came as YELLOW.... all Rally cars were painted Yellow in other words!

    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!!!

    Try this one on for size...
    You can buy flower seeds, plant them and pretty much know what they will grow to look like because there's a picture on the package.
    I don't know of too many ..., Umm " let me rephrase that..."I don't know of anyone who can look at a Chevy pick-up hood and picture two identical Olds 442 style hood scoops that don't exist coming from that.
    Most people when they see junk, its just useless junk to them
    When Fitzee sees junk, he sees big possibilities.
    Good job, great video and content, , kudos for the mid week tease/ heads-up and excellent work as always Tony

    Tony, I hope the house went as well as the Olds. You are my fab instructor. Thank you for your effort.

    Australia 150 an hour at 30 hours = 4 and a 1/2 K and not a penny less for the skill level required for this, and it still requires the 2 scoops mounting. Thats why hotrodding is for those with deep pockets unless they become an apprentice to someone like you Fitzee. Love your work.....

    This is certainly going to raise some Oldsmobile historian eyebrows!
