The reason I like your fabrication style is because it just seems to make sense to me. When you make something that other guys would spend 10 times the amount of time on,with great results, it's obvious who I need to be learning from.
Fitzy, i feel your pain on that little square piece that was thin. In my mind, i was like, Fitzy too much heat, blow'in holes! Probably could have used some cool air. For you and that metal! Awesome work!
Chasing holes can be frustrating when you’re welding sheet metal. I sometimes find that when you keep chasing them it just gets worse. As soon as I blow a hole I let it cool down. When it gets hot it seems to get worse. Doesn’t always work but sometimes the heat just makes it worse. Love the video. I have learned so much from them.
When I saw the round rod you pulled out, all I keep thinking of Bad Chad from up near you might have tried to fix that fender. Well now it is going to get fixed right. Nice job as usual and always impressed.
Lol as soon as I read that I was like oh my god I bet your right lol bad Chad does that all the time lol good one loved it ty for making me lol my shirt off
Brilliant. You work with the tools you got and you make it work. I love how you don’t over complicate things. Complex bends… you break it down into manageable chunks… makes it a lot easier and it’s just as good. Thanks again for your superb work and videos!
I am so glad you burned through the thin metal on the edge, I had the same thing happen. I spent all this time getting my patch panel trimmed up and welded, and go to weld a small pin hole and boom I keep blowing through, and it showed that the metal was super thin. I could have easily made the patch bigger but I didn't and had to patch the patch. Glad to see the masters make the same mistake, it is just part of the job.
Well, it's back in the shop a lot more, now that it's August an it'll start freezing and snowing at Fitzee's place! Canadian weather jokes. That Chevy is coming along, despite what the master says! Those fenders came along amazing, too. I learn somethings ng every episode. Looking good!
Really nice job on that repair Tony, you need to make your self a tucking fork it's a nice simple tool that would have helped a lot with shrinking the outside of the patch panel.
Superb job Fitzee ..your instruction and approach to things seems to compute with me ! Where most people on here go straight over my head amazing work fella 👍
Hi Tony. Nice repair on that old fender. It was quite a mess when you started. I think, in the end, the way you did it in multiple smaller pieces looks just as good as if you had spent hours to stretch and shrink that rolled edge in one piece. The end result looks fantastic!
Hi Fitz I know the feeling some jobs seem like they are fighting you to the very end.That's what seperates tha men from the boy's stick with it you get you always do. Thanks Fitz
another great job. I have sometimes not cut out enough bad metal and keep 'blowing through' til I have to add another piece of metal. Sorry, but it is good to see that I'm not the only one it happens to. Thanks for sharing
A little tip for others. When you are making a panel over top of the original and you have access to the back, drill some holes in the original piece so that you can check that the new panel is flush from behind with the original. Otherwise, you are only able to check that it matches at the edge of the panel. It’s a simple alternative to making station templates.
Your work inspired me to try and tackle the restoration of my dads old pickup, she's a small beauty like Crusty, built by Ford for the brazilian market in the 80's, and although I still have a long long way to go, your videos give me confidence that with enough time and patience I can get there eventually. Thank you Fitzee for all your videos, cheers from Brazil!
Oh Tony....friggin thin metal and blow through... I done some wheel arches on a chevy truck and I ended up having to buy the arches after. There wasn't enough metal left to weld to unless I wanted to put a larger piece in. Each time I made up the piece and welded it in, the same stuff kept happening the higher up I went. Get er done!
i have experimented with my bead roller using offset lower die with a male bead die. Play with the in/out until yuo get what you want. Gives a bit more wiggle room, as in tight corners. Also have the metal working set of rollers, can do some oddball things with different combos.
Friggin Great Job ! as usual ,most of us don't have a plennishing hammer or shrinker stretcher ,how would one go bout obtaining tht crown, cause you make look easy 😅
Minimal basic tools, a lot of skill, a lot of time and a truck load of patience . Keep those video's coming, i love them.
Great video!😊
@@robertbisson964 and a boatload of patience!
Fitzee you have the patience of a saint ...

Skill and patience. I don’t have either. Nice job, Tony
May only be basic tools but you need a lot of skill to use them like you do. GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!

The way you tackled this project made sense and you did it the way you showed us. One step at a time and don't over think it. It looks great!
The automotive gods are pleased with your workmanship. 🧑🔧
Well done great work

Excellent workmanship! If you're embarrassed about using a template just tell yourself it's CAD: "cardboard aided design".
17:33 - great example of a guy who is a metal wizard and showing us how to with basic hand tools ! …. Very inspiring to help me move forward on my car
Wow!!! I wish i had a fraction of your knowledge.....
Complex curves and shape. Well done. The large tools take up so much space. It was good to see you breaking out the heavy artillery .
Brilliant. You work with the tools you got and you make it work. I love how you don’t over complicate things. Complex bends… you break it down into manageable chunks… makes it a lot easier and it’s just as good. Thanks again for your superb work and videos!

INCREDIBLE WORK! You should have been a heart surgeon. love your work ethic, Fitz.
Or brain surgeon.
Nice work, Tony.
It's good to see that Peanut was keepin' an eye on ya. ;)
I love when Tony's talking to his friends about making metal repairs and they ask him what tools he uses and Tony just shows him his muscular thumbs 😁
Well, it's back in the shop a lot more, now that it's August an it'll start freezing and snowing at Fitzee's place! Canadian weather jokes. That Chevy is coming along, despite what the master says! Those fenders came along amazing, too. I learn somethings ng every episode. Looking good!
Wow,that was amazing work there . Thanks for passing on your knowledge. Its an honor.
Thank you for the Video…..Greetings from Germany 😊
Really nice job on that repair Tony, you need to make your self a tucking fork it's a nice simple tool that would have helped a lot with shrinking the outside of the patch panel.
Nice job Fitzee. God bless
We used a lead block to hammer into when I was a Tinsmith, you should weld the ring to a heavy plate.
You know I never thought of that. I usually weld it to the bench. I like your idea better. Thanks
Superb job Fitzee ..your instruction and approach to things seems to compute with me ! Where most people on here go straight over my head amazing work fella 👍
Always a pleasure to watch you work. Direct, simple & easy to follow. Thank you!
Good video buddy. Love the technique of rebuilding the wheel lip and the T dolly is great. ! Thx for sharing this with us all my friend. 👍🏻✌🏻
Hi Tony. Nice repair on that old fender. It was quite a mess when you started. I think, in the end, the way you did it in multiple smaller pieces looks just as good as if you had spent hours to stretch and shrink that rolled edge in one piece. The end result looks fantastic!
I laughed at the thin metal welding, only because I`ve been there. Gotta give you props for the humility and patience.
That one tested your patience 😂😂 nice repair Tony 👍

Boy, you pulled out all your fancy tools on this one. LOL. Fantastic.
Good tips again Tony
Always learn something new watching you
Love it Fitzy, I watch all your videos but this one is sublime 👌
Excellent, video my friend. Very informative, educational, and professional. Your videos are outstanding. I learn something every time.
Awesome work!
Incredible stuff again Fitzee , well done.!!
Thanks Tony, it looks so nice this side. Peanut was happy as well, so all good!
Best wishes, have a great week ahead. Cheers 👍💪✌
Beautiful work.
What an artist this man is! And the confidence when talking about the plan. Wow!
Awesome fit on that one. Really enjoyed all the detail

Fitzee you sure do work on some complex shapes! Love the channel.
Excellent job, you make it look so easy, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
The tips is always good : )
This imposter definitely looks like Fitzy, but obviously with the electric powered bead roller, and template, can't be him 🤣
I need to straighten the lip on the front fenders on my 35 Ford, thanks for the tips. Mine is even the same color. Have a great day.

Another great lesson
Other perfect video tony. I always look forward to learning new techniques from you. Thanks tony
Looks good, nice work. Factory probably wasn’t perfect.
Very educational. Thank you.
Looks great
I am shocked to see all these tools. great video
Fitzee your fabricating skills are outstandingly awesome looking forward for your next video thumbs up 👍
Mesmerizing as always. True artistry.
Oh Tony....friggin thin metal and blow through... I done some wheel arches on a chevy truck and I ended up having to buy the arches after. There wasn't enough metal left to weld to unless I wanted to put a larger piece in. Each time I made up the piece and welded it in, the same stuff kept happening the higher up I went. Get er done!
Thanks for sharing, always interesting!
Fitzee is the Bob Ross of Sheetmetal
Very interesting repair. The tips were definitely good
Great job with that fender, those are tricky and difficult to find any solid examples, great save Tony
Excellent work 👍
great video i have 53 chev that needs some work like this thanks
i have experimented with my bead roller using offset lower die with a male bead die. Play with the in/out until yuo get what you want. Gives a bit more wiggle room, as in tight corners. Also have the metal working set of rollers, can do some oddball things with different combos.
Such a joy to watch!
Fitzee the magician back at it with another one 👏
You make it look easy Tony
Sorry Fritzee I forgot your a very talented man.❤😊
Master fabricator!
Glad your back , I have been waiting. Thank you my friend . Know you are a busy man. Love your chanel.❤😊
Super fun to watch and pretend I can do it. We will see. thank you
I noticed that too Tony right away that the fender was a quite a bit thinner skinned than normal but you gotter as you always do. Looks good .....
Thanks for the tips. Helped me out repairing a rider deck.
Blowing through like when I was welding my suzuki.
Great job there Mistro
Nice job. Looks really good. 👍
Friggin Great Job ! as usual ,most of us don't have a plennishing hammer or shrinker stretcher ,how would one go bout obtaining tht crown, cause you make look easy 😅
Alot of hours. Can be done. Shrinking would be the biggest issue
Thank you fancy Fitzee!!
Great tutorial as usual
That's
Best looking part of the whole fivedner
Hey,Fitzee!
Man what a difference in sheet metal movement when you reattached angle iron support L will have to remember tha idea when I repair my model a fenders
Great work .
I just picked up a used bead roller. Let the modifications to it begin. ⚡️
Ohh I can’t believe this!
Now your using templates, well I’m not sure I can watch any longer! 😉
Metal Magic, agree "patience of a saint"
Makin it real... love your show
Now i know it ! YOU are the Metal God Judas Priest sings about in the 80´s 👍 Love every minute of your videos
Good to see the bead roller.
Great job 👏
Nice Work. Looks Great.
Thanks for your Knowledge that you show Us.

Can you heat and stress relief sheet metal that is work hardened ? I have done this with coins to make rings.
Yes you can I done it in the past. I just don't have any tanks any more.
A MINT job there..... Just a wee bit of sarcasm Fitzee??????
Great repair Tony, I enjoyed that. When are we going to see paint put on the shoebox chevy? 👍
Hopefully soon. I been doing mechanical work on it and it was two step forward and 3 steps back. Lol.
Excellent
Loved everything you did, artistry! Are you using the Arcaptain welder you reviewed a while back?
@robertlipscomb9741 yes I still am
