Making complicated repairs look simple..there, I fixed your title for you. I was thinking of you the other day . I picked up a hose reel from Habitat . the one side of the sheet metal ring was distorted from something falling on it probably . the lead in hose was split , the hose was dirty . but it was $5 . the swivel alone is worth more than that. Anyway I made a metal spoon from some 12 gauge stock, put a bit of a roll into it and rounded the end to make it match the profile of the rolled edge . that's where you came into mind... home made tools , keep it simple etc etc . I figured I had nothing to lose trying to shape it back to original. Just then a neighbour dropped over . He said No way will you ever get that back to shape ... well some hammering & dollying I got it back almost perfect . He was impressed as get out ... theres a bit of ding marks in the metal but a coat of semi gloss paint will make it look like a million bucks. and the hose cleaned up like new with some thinners . There you go, I was buying it for the swivel, now I got another hose reel. You gave me the confidence to try to repair it. Thanks Fitzy!
He's just got a great attitude. Truck break down...okay fix it. Fender got a half pound of MIG wire bubble gum...cut it out and cut and butt. Roof collapsed...set up shop in the attic. Rock that life, Fitzee!
Lots of complicated curves in the fender. Great job, you amaze me Fitzee. Thanks for sharing the repairs. I love how the bumper bracket area repair was done….lots of different angles in that area……your the master !
Hi Tony. I never get tired of seeing you restore a damaged/rusted section of a panel and bring it back to looking new. If I keep watching, I'm hoping that I can pick up a little of your skill!
B'y jesus newfoundland bodywork's come a long ways, i remembers when we'd shove our mothers drawers in the rust holes an fill em over with window screen and kitty hair! LOL subscribed!
Hi Tony, you did a great job getting the curves worked in and to get the flow of the edges to blend in, looks like it was factory made when you finished. Later
@@fitzeesfabrications Join the club! I have so many projects that it's taking me forever to get through them. And I haven't even started on my car yet that I want to get done some time. But watching your videos has given me a lot of information and tips that will be very useful when I get to working on my car project.
I didn't know anything about welding the inside of the fender. That was a repair job done over 20 years ago at local tech school. Again thanks for sharing.
Another great training video using the cut n but method. I did something similiar on the fenders on my 1935 pontiac coupe years ago but I didn't anything about welding on the inside of the fender. Learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing.
I feel like your methods are slowly sinking in for me sometimes when I ask myself a question about how you're gonna do something, and then a moment later you answer it! In this case " I wonder how he welded up that big hole in the end...did he use a piece of brass to back it?" :) You're a great teacher,and your editing is top notch. Thanks for the tips!
I found that when I used a piece of brass behind the weld like you demonstrated, that I had to turn the welder up a little bit because of the heat drawn by the brass.
I have watched your channel for years now, your metalwork skills always amaze me, but not as much as the amount of this metal shelving you have, I feel as if it's an old friend, it will be a sad day for me when it's finally all used up.
I did almous exactly the same as you did here few days ago on an old Mercedes,including the fact of variating the welding line on the patch(as always do👍..).i 'm some how really glad that you "confirmed" the right way.thank you Tony,well done as usual👌
i subcribed your channel a long time ago. And this is the channel i lernd the most about sheet metal repairs. I have to say Thank You!!! And greetings from germany.
Bruv. You are (BY FAR) my favourite youtuber. Your craftsmanship is out of this world. I'm currently restoring a '91 mazda RX7 and you have been no end of help. Thank you so much. Please keep videos coming ❤
Would love to build a 30 or 40s model pickup sometimes im sure i can pull it off if i could ever finish the cars i have now but with fitzees help im slowly getting there thanks again for the great videos
Love watching your videos and learning stuff a little advice on the English wheel take the paint and primer off the metal it will give the metal a cushion and take longer to get the shape you are after
Thanks for all the videos, I have learned so much since I found them a couple years back. Working on my ‘56 F100 and had blow throughs on the old metal that wanted to “walk away from the new steel. Thanks for showing that you get them too. Just have to chill out, get a backer and keep at it patiently!
Another cool video, never gets old watching how it’s done. I’ve done rocker panels in my daughters Jeep Liberty, and a cab corner in my brother in-laws Chevy pick up
Seu trabalho é excepcional! Aprendo muito com sua experiência. Sei o quanto é trabalhoso fazer o que você faz com tanta qualidade. Obrigado por compartilhar. Parabéns pelo esforço e pelo êxito.
That's not a pipe anvil, it's a storage rack disguised as a pipe anvil. It's also handy for bending sheet metal as well as being a place to store bits and pieces.
Thanks to you I gained the confidence to try repairing the door bottom on my Toyota Avalon. I took the bottom from a damaged 2 door Accord, cut a section out, then "Cut & But" it into place. Skim coat of bondo & rattle can paint... good as new! Been 2 years now. "Hammer & Dolly" and "Shrink & Stretching" seems like Black Magic to me. Can you address how they are done in a video(s)?
Good stuff as usual. There seems to be a lot of flex in your English Wheel. I think it could do with some extra bracing on the inside corners of the frame.
Fitze. There is one glaring shortcoming in your hammer and dolly technique and I would be remiss if I didn’t point it out to you and your followers You are using the body hammer in the wrong hand. lol Left handed hammer man. I’m right handed and this is the only thing I can see you doing wrong. 😂 Joking aside you have shown me so many tricks and processes I appreciate them and I’m sure others do to. Please keep it up we appreciate your efforts
It would have been handy if you had a scrap fender the same as these ones that you could cut repair pieces out of. It would be a lot quicker that doing all the repairs and making the repair pieces.
Hi Tony, Amazing quality again. Top notch! 😍🤩 I do hope you customer appreciates your going the extra mile and you doing the 3rd very elegant repair and gives you a bonus. May i cheekily ask if you could include or mention an approximate amount of repair time (+/-) that your artwork took you to produce? Would the 3 parts of the fender repair take 1 or 2 working days if no filming were involved? Many regards and very impressed once again, Yours truly, Me.

This is why we can have nice things.

All right! Friday in the shop with Fitzee!
Great video. You're a great teacher Tony! Thank you, I enjoyed this one, like all the others.😊
Hi Tony, you did a great job getting the curves worked in and to get the flow of the edges to blend in, looks like it was factory made when you finished. Later
You sure have a lot of projects on the go at the moment. Looking forward to seeing Crusty back again after you get through a few other things.
@BrucePierson ya I want to get the Mustang, black 51 chevy and then the ramp needs to be done. Too many projects

Peanut checking out what you've been doing and approving.
Very nice work.
Always an amazing job, Fitzee. I learn from every video, thank you!
Love watching your videos. It's inspiring to see.
The wheel needs extra mass added to base I used and F J Edward’s which was cast iron when I did my apprenticeship solid as a rock…. great work Fitz❤
Tony, your amazing. You make every repair look simple. I love it.

Great job again Tony, well done!
A true pleasure to watch your skills and have you share your wisdom.

Hey Tony ! Great job as always.
Thanks for "stick around" speech, I'd really missed it!
Thanks for another great video.
Seeing you run that fender through the wheel reminds me of my ol dog scratching his back on the underside of the china hutch 😂
Amazing skill and excellent close up camera work as always.
Another cool video, never gets old watching how it’s done. I’ve done rocker panels in my daughters Jeep Liberty, and a cab corner in my brother in-laws Chevy pick up
nice fab work as always. cheers bud.
Awesome work bro. Thank you sharing...Inspired to do the rust repairs on my '76 F100...from South AFRICA
you always make it look easy.
It must have been a good enough job for Peanut! ;)
Take care, Tony.
Seu trabalho é excepcional! Aprendo muito com sua experiência. Sei o quanto é trabalhoso fazer o que você faz com tanta qualidade. Obrigado por compartilhar. Parabéns pelo esforço e pelo êxito.
Ah The Fitz Meister strikes again. Mint vid, who says you can't teach an Ole dog ( Me ) new tricks. Stay safe Tony later. 😊😊
You do such a great job!! I love to concentrate on how to stretch and shrink the metal . How to make it flow with all the different angles
Love your videos Tony! The repair is excellent, as always!
VERY good Tony
I love good old-fashioned metal work. Good job!
Nice work very informative enjoy watching your videos
great video thanks
When I brought my 39 Chevy home, my mother said you're not keeping those big swoopy fenders are you?.
I replied thats why I bought it.
Amazing what you accomplished with simple tools!
Two thumbs fresh Tony
That's not a pipe anvil, it's a storage rack disguised as a pipe anvil. It's also handy for bending sheet metal as well as being a place to store bits and pieces.
Simply magic!
The fleetline looks great 👨🏻🎨 great tips as always Tony
Nice!!! The tips were good!!!
I'm thrilled every time !!!
Awesome as usual...Good to see you back.
Tricky! Good teaching one this one, thanks Tony.
Thanks to you I gained the confidence to try repairing the door bottom on my Toyota Avalon. I took the bottom from a damaged 2 door Accord, cut a section out, then "Cut & But" it into place. Skim coat of bondo & rattle can paint... good as new! Been 2 years now.
"Hammer & Dolly" and "Shrink & Stretching" seems like Black Magic to me. Can you address how they are done in a video(s)?
at least the previous repair was metal and booger welds not hardware cloth and bondo.
Master class in repair. Thanks for posting it!
Excellent video . As always the tips were good
Nice
Good stuff as usual. There seems to be a lot of flex in your English Wheel. I think it could do with some extra bracing on the inside corners of the frame.
Very smart man
Vise grip really needs to make those finger grips where the clamping surface is parallel to the jaws to accompany of those perpendicular ones.
That came out so nice!
Good tips again 👍👍
Fun
Great lesson. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice Work. Looks Great.

@srwilbur I say it take me about a day and half to bother repairs.
So a week per fender for the rest of us....😂
for a garage that is only 2 feet deeper than mine you seem to have a lot more space to work with.
