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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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
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 😅
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.
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 ...
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.
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!
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!!!!!!!!
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.
Excellent workmanship! If you're embarrassed about using a template just tell yourself it's CAD: "cardboard aided design".

The automotive gods are pleased with your workmanship. 🧑🔧
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
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
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!
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 .

INCREDIBLE WORK! You should have been a heart surgeon. love your work ethic, Fitz.
Or brain surgeon.
Always a pleasure to watch you work. Direct, simple & easy to follow. Thank you!

Always learn something new watching you
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.
Love it Fitzy, I watch all your videos but this one is sublime 👌
Boy, you pulled out all your fancy tools on this one. LOL. Fantastic.
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 👍
Good tips again Tony

Nice work, Tony.
It's good to see that Peanut was keepin' an eye on ya. ;)
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
Well done great work
Greetings from Germany and the Harz mountains
Yours Frank Galetzka
Wow!!! I wish i had a fraction of your knowledge.....
Awesome fit on that one. Really enjoyed all the detail
Thanks for sharing, always interesting!
I laughed at the thin metal welding, only because I`ve been there. Gotta give you props for the humility and patience.
This imposter definitely looks like Fitzy, but obviously with the electric powered bead roller, and template, can't be him 🤣

What an artist this man is! And the confidence when talking about the plan. Wow!
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.
Hey,Fitzee!
Looks great
Fitzee is the Bob Ross of Sheetmetal
Beautiful work.

Thanks Tony, it looks so nice this side. Peanut was happy as well, so all good!
Best wishes, have a great week ahead. Cheers 👍💪✌
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.
The tips is always good : )
Very educational. Thank you.
Super fun to watch and pretend I can do it. We will see. thank you
Awesome work!
Another great lesson
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
Fitzee your fabricating skills are outstandingly awesome looking forward for your next video thumbs up 👍
Other perfect video tony. I always look forward to learning new techniques from you. Thanks tony
Fitzee you sure do work on some complex shapes! Love the channel.
Incredible stuff again Fitzee , well done.!!
I am shocked to see all these tools. great video
great video i have 53 chev that needs some work like this thanks
Great work .
Great job there Mistro
That one tested your patience 😂😂 nice repair Tony 👍
Thank you fancy Fitzee!!
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
Mesmerizing as always. True artistry.
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
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.
Very interesting repair. The tips were definitely good
Thanks for the tips. Helped me out repairing a rider deck.
Fitzee the magician back at it with another one 👏
Great job with that fender, those are tricky and difficult to find any solid examples, great save Tony
Looks good, nice work. Factory probably wasn’t perfect.
Glad your back , I have been waiting. Thank you my friend . Know you are a busy man. Love your chanel.❤😊
Nice job. Looks really good. 👍
You make it look easy Tony

Excellent work 👍
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 .....
Good One!!
Metal Magic, agree "patience of a saint"
Puuh , very cool
Sorry Fritzee I forgot your a very talented man.❤😊
Ohh I can’t believe this!
Now your using templates, well I’m not sure I can watch any longer! 😉
That's
Best looking part of the whole fivedner
Excellent
Good to see the bead roller.
Great tutorial as usual
I just picked up a used bead roller. Let the modifications to it begin. ⚡️
Blowing through like when I was welding my suzuki.
Now i know it ! YOU are the Metal God Judas Priest sings about in the 80´s 👍 Love every minute of your videos
they beat that fender into tinfoil - nice save
A MINT job there..... Just a wee bit of sarcasm Fitzee??????
Great job 👏
